Air Quality (AQI) in Udaipur
This page provides a detailed view of air quality conditions in Udaipur, Rajasthan. We use the European Air Quality Index (EAQI) which combines PM2.5, PM10, NO₂, O₃ and SO₂ readings into a single 0–100+ score. Data is refreshed every 60 minutes from the Copernicus CAMS forecast via Open-Meteo.
What Udaipur's AQI levels mean
0–20 is Good, 20–40 Fair, 40–60 Moderate, 60–80 Poor, 80–100 Very Poor, and 100+ Extremely Poor. Mid-sized cities like Udaipur (population 4,22,784) usually keep AQI in the Good–Moderate band, but the post-monsoon crop-residue burning season can push readings into Poor territory.
Health advisory by AQI level
At AQI 60+, sensitive groups (children, elderly, asthma + COPD patients, pregnant women) should reduce time outdoors and avoid strenuous activity. At AQI 100+, N95 / KN95 masks are recommended outdoors, and indoor HEPA filtration helps. Above AQI 200, all outdoor exertion should be paused and windows kept closed.
PM2.5 vs PM10 in Udaipur
PM2.5 (particles under 2.5 µm) is the most dangerous fraction — it passes deep into the lungs and into the bloodstream. PM10 (under 10 µm) irritates the nose and throat. Both readings are shown in the live panel above for Udaipur. The WHO recommends annual PM2.5 below 5 µg/m³; most South Asian cities sit 10–20× higher.
Best practices for living in Udaipur
On a Poor / Very Poor day, sip warm water and herbal infusions to help the airways, avoid burning incense or wood indoors, and check the AQI before morning runs or school commutes. Long-term: indoor plants (modest effect), HEPA purifiers in bedrooms, masks for outdoor labour and traffic-heavy commutes.
