How is Surat'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. Surat's current AQI of 55 falls in the "Satisfactory" band (51–100).
Is Surat's air quality safe today?
Yes - Surat's AQI of 55 is in the "Satisfactory" range, CPCB's safest bands, with no outdoor activity restrictions.
What are today's petrol and diesel prices in Surat?
Petrol is ₹101.70/L, diesel ₹97.82/L, for Surat. 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 Surat's gold price match the national rate?
Gold is one national spot rate, not set city by city - Surat'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 Surat today?
Yes - banks in Gujarat are open today. Next closure: Janmashtami/Krishna Jayanthi, 4 Sep.
What is Rahu Kalam in Surat today?
Rahu Kalam in Surat today runs from 3:16 PM to 4:52 PM. Hindu tradition treats this window as inauspicious for starting new ventures, travel, or important decisions.
Why Check Surat's Weather and AQI?
Surat runs on two industries that both depend on stable air and moisture conditions: diamond polishing and textile manufacturing. The city is widely reported to cut and polish roughly nine in ten of the world's diamonds by volume, work done in tightly controlled workshop environments where humidity swings affect polish quality. With a metro population of well over 7 million and one of India's fastest-growing urban economies, small weather and air-quality shifts here ripple through a global supply chain, not just a local one.
Diamond and Textile Industry Impact
Surat's diamond units employ a large share of the city's workforce, much of it in close, humidity-sensitive polishing work. Prolonged monsoon humidity or a dry heat spike both push workshops to adjust schedules. The city's synthetic textile mills, one of India's largest concentrations of man-made fabric production, face a parallel problem: dyeing and finishing lines are sensitive to ambient humidity and water availability, so a delayed or unusually heavy monsoon affects production planning directly. Track Surat weather for the short-term shifts that matter to shift planning.
Seasonal Guide
Oct-Feb: Cooler, Drier Season - Best conditions for outdoor work and travel; typically the steadiest stretch for factory output and diamond trade shows.
Mar-Jun: Pre-Monsoon Heat - Temperatures regularly climb into the low-to-mid 40s°C by May; outdoor workers and polishing units with older cooling systems are most exposed. Check Surat AQI as dust levels tend to rise in this dry stretch.
Jun-Sep: Southwest Monsoon - Gujarat's monsoon typically sets in by mid-to-late June and brings the bulk of the city's annual rainfall through September. Heavy spells have caused flooding in low-lying parts of Surat in past years, disrupting factory logistics and port-linked shipments.
