Residents should be aware of moderate air quality conditions expected to persist on January 1, 2024. The forecast indicates scattered clouds and fluctuating temperatures, coupled with moderate Air Quality Index (AQI) levels. Understanding these conditions is crucial for planning outdoor activities and protecting vulnerable populations. The Air Quality Index (AQI) is a scale used to indicate levels of air pollution.

The AQI is expected to remain largely in the “yellow” zone, indicating a moderate level of concern. This means that air quality is acceptable; though, there might perhaps be a risk for some people, notably those who are unusually sensitive to air pollution. The Air Quality Index (AQI) of 85 indicates moderate air quality. While generally acceptable for most individuals, people unusually sensitive to air pollution may experience some health effects. It’s advisable for these individuals to limit prolonged outdoor exertion.

Earlier in the day, the Air Quality index (AQI) was predicted to be 106 at 12:00 PM, falling into the orange category, suggesting that the air quality may be unhealthy for sensitive groups such as children, the elderly, and individuals with respiratory conditions. An AQI of 99 to 92, as predicted for later in the day, falls into the yellow category, indicating moderate air quality.

Detailed Hourly Forecast

Here’s a detailed hourly breakdown of what to expect:

  • 17:00: Expect scattered clouds with a temperature of 48°. The wind will be blowing from the south-southeast at 4.5 mph, with a humidity of 77%. The AQI is forecasted to be 91.
  • 18:00: The temperature will drop slightly to 46°. Wind speeds decrease to 2.2 mph, blowing from the north-northeast. Humidity rises to 80%, and the AQI is expected to be 89.
  • 19:00: Temperatures continue to fall, reaching 46°. The wind shifts slightly, blowing from the north at 2.2 mph. Humidity increases to 80%, with an AQI of 89.
  • 20:00: The temperature is expected to be 45°. Winds will be light at 2.2 mph, coming from the north. Humidity will be at 82%, and the AQI is forecasted to be 87.
  • 21:00: Expect a temperature of 43°. The wind will continue at 2.2 mph, blowing from the north.Humidity will be at 83%, and the AQI is expected to be 85.
