Saharsa Flooding: Weather and AQI Guide for Bihar

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 Saharsa is CO. Saharsa's current AQI of 463 falls in the "Severe" band (400+).

Not fully - Saharsa is at Severe today (AQI 463). Avoid all outdoor activity. This level affects even healthy people.

"Feels like" factors in humidity and wind on top of the actual air temperature. At 83% humidity and 23 kph wind, Saharsa'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.

Petrol is ₹113.37/L, diesel ₹99.36/L, for Bihar (no city-level station for Saharsa yet). 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.

Gold is one national spot rate, not set city by city - Saharsa's price tracks the same international gold market and the day's USD/INR exchange rate as everywhere else in India.

Yes - banks in Bihar are open today. Next closure: Janmashtami/Krishna Jayanthi, 4 Sep.

Rahu Kalam in Saharsa today runs from 4:11 PM to 5:47 PM. Hindu tradition treats this window as inauspicious for starting new ventures, travel, or important decisions.
