How is Katihar's AQI calculated?
The Air Quality Index combines PM2.5, PM10, NO₂, SO₂, CO and O₃ readings from CPCB-monitored stations into one 0–500 score, using whichever pollutant reads worst as the overall number rather than an average of all of them. Today the dominant pollutant driving that number in Katihar is CO. Katihar's current AQI of 376 falls in the "Very Poor" band (301–400).
Is Katihar's air quality safe today?
Not fully - Katihar is at Very Poor today (AQI 376). Avoid outdoor exertion. Wear a mask outside; sensitive groups should stay indoors.
What are today's petrol and diesel prices in Katihar?
Petrol is ₹114.91/L, diesel ₹100.81/L, for Katihar. Fuel prices are revised daily and can vary slightly by station. The base crude and refinery cost is the same nationwide - state VAT and cess are what make petrol cheaper or pricier just across a state line.
Why does Katihar's gold price match the national rate?

Why Check Katihar's Weather and AQI?
Katihar is a district in Bihar, part of the Gangetic plain. With a population of 3,071,029, agriculture remains a significant part of the local economy here, as in most of Bihar, which makes seasonal rainfall timing a genuine practical concern for a large share of residents - not just a forecast curiosity.
Seasonal Guide
The southwest monsoon typically reaches this part of Bihar by mid-June. Outside the monsoon, summer highs regularly exceed 40°C, and low-lying areas face real monsoon flood risk from the region's rivers.
