The day begins on a cool and pleasant note with the mercury dipping to a low of 18.3°C. Morning humidity is relatively high at 78%, accompanied by a refreshing light breeze blowing at speeds up to 22 km/h. However, the clear skies won't last all day.

Calm winds and traffic emissions contributed to these levels. While the air is not severely polluted, individuals with respiratory sensitivities might experience mild discomfort during peak traffic hours.

Nevertheless, it is recommended to limit prolonged outdoor exposure in high-traffic zones, and carrying a mask in such areas is a prudent step.
