On Thursday, the Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research System said foggy conditions and low temperatures and low mixing layer heights hindered effective ventilation of pollutants, resulting in the AQI being in the “poor” category for two consecutive days. “Starting on the 29th [Saturday] , the AQI may improve due to the gradual increase in daytime temperatures, which promotes vertical mixing and dilution of near-surface pollutants.” Wednesday’s minimum temperature was 5.8 degrees Celsius, three notches lower than normal, and the maximum temperature was 16.4 degrees Celsius, which was lower than normal. Normally six degrees lower.
