How is Samastipur'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 Samastipur is CO. Samastipur's current AQI of 125 falls in the "Moderate" band (101–200).
Is Samastipur's air quality safe today?
Not fully - Samastipur is at Moderate today (AQI 125). Sensitive groups (children, elderly, asthma/heart conditions) should limit prolonged outdoor exertion.
What are today's petrol and diesel prices in Samastipur?
Petrol is ₹113.35/L, diesel ₹99.35/L, for Samastipur. 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 Samastipur's gold price match the national rate?

What is Rahu Kalam in Samastipur today?

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.
Seasonal Guide
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.
