After a spike in pollution during Diwali, Indore's air quality has improved, with night temperatures falling while daytime temperatures rose by about one degree.
Indore recorded a modest rise in daytime temperature by one degree Celsius, while the night saw a noticeable dip, marking a subtle shift in the city’s early‑winter weather pattern. The temperature change comes after the capital’s air quality improved following the sharp increase in pollution that typically accompanies the Diwali festivities.
Environmental monitors reported a decline in particulate matter levels, giving residents a brief respite from the smog that blanketed the city in the days after the festival. Despite the cleaner air, locals are still anticipating the arrival of November’s characteristic "pink cold," a term used for the crisp, gentle chill that settles across central India.
For now, the city experiences a mild coolness rather than a full‑blown winter. Meteorological forecasts suggest that the temperature will continue to hover around the current range, with night lows remaining low and daytime highs inching upward gradually as the season progresses.
