With a minimum temperature of 13 degrees Celsius, Delhi woke up to a misty Thursday morning with an Air Quality Index (AQI) of 360 under the 'very poor' category.

The maximum temperature for the day will settle at 28 degrees Celsius.

This entire week the maximum temperature will fluctuate between 25 to 28 degrees Celsius, the IMD data revealed.

Meanwhile, the Air Quality Early Warning System forecast for Delhi has indicated the national capital's AQI could improve gradually after remaining in the 'very poor' category from November 10 to 12.

The wind direction continues to be from the northwest direction and conducive for the transport of pollutants from crop residue burning.
