Sat Dec 21 04:57:13 UTC 2024: ## Jaipur Braces for Cool Weather, High Air Pollution
**Jaipur, December 21, 2024** – Jaipur woke up to a chilly morning today, with the minimum temperature recorded at 10.7°C. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts a clear sky throughout the day, with a maximum temperature expected to reach 18.59°C. Yesterday’s temperatures were 10.34°C (minimum) and 22.66°C (maximum). Morning humidity stood at 29%. Sunrise was at 7:11:34 AM and sunset will be at 5:38:08 PM.
However, a significant concern is the alarmingly high Air Quality Index (AQI), posing a health risk to all residents. Citizens are advised to be cautious, as respiratory issues and eye irritation are possible. The IMD warns that higher AQI levels directly correlate to increased air pollution and health risks. An AQI of 50 or less indicates good air quality, while anything above 300 is considered hazardous.
