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.

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
