How is Patna'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 Patna is CO. Patna's current AQI of 488 falls in the "Severe" band (400+).
Is Patna's air quality safe today?
Not fully - Patna is at Severe today (AQI 488). Avoid all outdoor activity. This level affects even healthy people.
What are today's petrol and diesel prices in Patna?
Petrol is ₹113.37/L, diesel ₹99.36/L, for Patna. 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 Patna's gold price match the national rate?
Gold is one national spot rate, not set city by city - Patna'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 Patna today?
No - banks in Bihar are closed today (Sunday).
What is Rahu Kalam in Patna today?
Rahu Kalam in Patna today runs from 4:56 PM to 6:22 PM. Hindu tradition treats this window as inauspicious for starting new ventures, travel, or important decisions.
Why Check Patna's Weather and AQI?
Patna, Bihar's capital, is one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities, built along the Ganges on the site of ancient Pataliputra. As the state's administrative hub and a growing center for competitive-exam coaching, it also carries a genuine flood risk: the Ganges and its tributaries have caused serious urban flooding in the city in past years.
Riverside Administration and Flood Impact
Government offices, coaching institutes and river-adjacent neighborhoods all watch the Ganges' level closely during monsoon season, when sustained heavy rain upstream can push the river high enough to flood low-lying parts of the city. Track Patna weather and river levels together during the monsoon.
Seasonal Guide
Oct-Feb: Cool, Dry Season - Patna's most comfortable months.
Mar-Jun: Extreme Heat - Highs regularly exceed 42°C.
Jul-Sep: Monsoon, Flood Risk - Check Patna AQI and river-level alerts together during heavy spells.
Data Methodology
Weather and AQI figures are drawn from public government monitoring sources and refreshed regularly. See Bihar weather and AQI for how Patna compares with other cities in the state.
