Meanwhile, the overall air quality is moderate as a result of slow dispersion and scattered rain.

The government agencies consider an AQI with the range of 0-50 is regarded as ‘good’, 51-100 is ‘satisfactory’, 101-200 is ‘moderate’, 201-300 is ‘poor’, 301-400 is ‘very poor’ and 401-500 is deemed as ‘severe’.
