The air quality remained in the 'very poor' category, primarily due to PM2.5. Eight monitoring locations recorded AQI levels above 400, placing them in the 'severe' category.

Eight monitoring stations reported AQI levels above 400, placing them in the 'severe' category. The worsening air quality is attributed to unfavorable weather conditions and smoke from farm fires in neighboring states.
