How accurate was Delhi’s Air Quality Early Warning System (AQEWS) in predicting 'very poor and above' air quality days during the winters of 2023–24 and 2024–25?
More than 80% accuracyAccording to a study by the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW), Delhi’s Air Quality Early Warning System (AQEWS) correctly predicted 83 out of 92 'very poor and above' air quality days (AQI > 300) in winter 2023–24 and 54 out of 58 such days in 2024–25, reflecting over 80% accuracy. The system, operated by IITM and IMD since 2018, provides 3–10 day pollution forecasts. It also improved in forecasting 'severe' days (AQI > 400), correctly identifying 5 out of 14 in 2024–25 compared to just 1 out of 15 the previous year. The CEEW recommended making the Decision Support System operational year-round and updating national emission inventories regularly to further enhance accuracy and public trust.
