There are not enough fresh measurements for Varanasi right now. From 14:30 to 22:30 local time the city mean PM2.5 rose from 45.3 to 94.0 µg/m³.
Light wind (2 m/s) in the evening or at night, as the air cools, possibly traps particles near the ground (a temperature inversion). High humidity (86%) possibly makes optical sensors read somewhat higher.
Weather now: clear, 20°C, wind 2 m/s, humidity 86%. No major change in the wind is expected in the coming hours. By 14:00 the temperature will be about 29°C.
