How is Muzaffarpur'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 Muzaffarpur is CO. Muzaffarpur's current AQI of 353 falls in the "Very Poor" band (301–400).
Is Muzaffarpur's air quality safe today?
Not fully - Muzaffarpur is at Very Poor today (AQI 353). Avoid outdoor exertion. Wear a mask outside; sensitive groups should stay indoors.
Why does 28°C feel like 31°C in Muzaffarpur?
"Feels like" factors in humidity and wind on top of the actual air temperature. At 82% humidity and 20 kph wind, Muzaffarpur's air right now feels hotter than the thermometer reading - high humidity slows sweat evaporation, so your body sheds heat less efficiently than the raw air temperature alone would suggest.
What are today's petrol and diesel prices in Muzaffarpur?
Petrol is ₹114.10/L, diesel ₹100.05/L, for Muzaffarpur. 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 Muzaffarpur's gold price match the national rate?
Gold is one national spot rate, not set city by city - Muzaffarpur's price tracks the same international gold market and the day's USD/INR exchange rate as everywhere else in India.
Are banks open in Muzaffarpur today?
Yes - banks in Bihar are open today. Next closure: Janmashtami/Krishna Jayanthi, 4 Sep.
What is Rahu Kalam in Muzaffarpur today?
Rahu Kalam in Muzaffarpur today runs from 4:06 PM to 5:42 PM. Hindu tradition treats this window as inauspicious for starting new ventures, travel, or important decisions.
Why Check Muzaffarpur's Weather and AQI?
Muzaffarpur is India's largest producer of Shahi litchi, a geographically-tagged lychee variety harvested in a short window each May and June. Few crops anywhere are this tightly bound to a narrow weather window - a poorly timed heatwave or an untimely shower during harvest can affect an entire year's export crop.
Litchi Harvest Impact
The litchi harvest depends on a specific balance of winter chill for flowering and stable pre-monsoon conditions for the fruit to ripen without splitting; growers and exporters watch the forecast closely through April and May as the harvest approaches. Track Muzaffarpur weather during the litchi harvest window.
Seasonal Guide
Oct-Feb: Cool Season, Flowering - Winter chill here is important for the litchi trees' flowering cycle.
Mar-Jun: Harvest Season - The critical window; unseasonal rain or hail can damage the ripening fruit.
Jul-Sep: Monsoon - Check Muzaffarpur AQI alongside the forecast after harvest season ends.
Data Methodology
Weather and AQI figures are drawn from public government monitoring sources and refreshed regularly. See Bihar weather and AQI for how Muzaffarpur compares with other cities in the state.
