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.

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