November is the month of cooler weather and clear skies in Delhi which makes it the best month for the outdoor activities and travel in the city. However, this year pollution is a big issue, and it has affected the air quality so much that it has gone down to “very poor” and “severe” levels on several days, as a result, AQI readings are often above 400 and PM2.5 values are way higher than global safety limits. The average daytime highs are between 25°C and 28°C, whereas the nights are cooler with lows of about 12°C to 14°C. Therefore, both residents and visitors are advised to keep themselves updated on the daily AQI reports, wear clothes suitable for mild to cool weather, and remain indoors at the times when pollution is at its peak in order to lower the risk of being affected health-wise by pollution, a situation widely discussed across India Current News platforms.
Current air quality and pollution
The AQI of Delhi towards the end of November 2025 has been in the range of 391-450, often crossing over into the “severe” category. On the 21st and 22nd of November, the level of PM2.5 reached 280 µg/m³, compared to the World Health Organization’s guideline of 15 µg/m³, which means the exposure is almost equal to the case of someone smoking several cigarettes a day. This is particularly true for the morning and evening rush hours. The neighborhoods of Anand Vihar, Jahangirpuri, and ITO have also recorded AQI levels above 400, which has caused breathing problems and eye discomfort for a lot of local people. Some schools have already started outdoor activity restrictions, and the city is still discussing the possibility of limiting the emissions from vehicles and industries.

What to expect and how to stay safe
The November atmosphere in Delhi is a perfection for tourists, but the constant pollution might still cause some health issues, namely among children, the elderly, and people with breathing problems. It is advisable to wear N95-grade or recommended masks outdoors during your trips, to schedule outings at late in the mornings or afternoons when pollution is lower, and to think about indoor activities on days with poor AQI. Keep yourself hydrated all the time, do not have vigorous outdoor exercises on “severe” AQI days, and check official weather and air quality channels for real-time updates.
