How is Samastipur's AQI calculated?

Why Check Samastipur's Weather and AQI?
Samastipur is a district in Bihar, part of the Gangetic plain. With a population of 4,261,566, 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.

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.
