How is Thiruvananthapuram'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 Thiruvananthapuram is CO. Thiruvananthapuram's current AQI of 329 falls in the "Very Poor" band (301–400).
Is Thiruvananthapuram's air quality safe today?
Not fully - Thiruvananthapuram is at Very Poor today (AQI 329). Avoid outdoor exertion. Wear a mask outside; sensitive groups should stay indoors.
What are today's petrol and diesel prices in Thiruvananthapuram?
Petrol is ₹115.49/L, diesel ₹104.40/L, for Kerala (no city-level station for Thiruvananthapuram 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.
Why does Thiruvananthapuram's gold price match the national rate?
Gold is one national spot rate, not set city by city - Thiruvananthapuram'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 Thiruvananthapuram today?
Yes - banks in Kerala are open today. Next closure: Janmashtami/Krishna Jayanthi, 4 Sep.
What is Rahu Kalam in Thiruvananthapuram today?
Rahu Kalam in Thiruvananthapuram today runs from 3:32 PM to 5:08 PM. Hindu tradition treats this window as inauspicious for starting new ventures, travel, or important decisions.
Why Check Thiruvananthapuram's Weather and AQI?
Thiruvananthapuram is Kerala's capital and home to Technopark, one of India's largest IT parks, alongside a genuine coastal-tourism trade centered on Kovalam beach nearby. As both a government and tech-sector hub with a large beach-tourism economy next door, its weather affects office commutes and holidaymakers in equally direct ways.
IT Sector and Coastal Tourism Impact
Kovalam's beach tourism pauses during rough-sea warnings and heavy monsoon spells, while the city's IT workforce - concentrated in Technopark's campuses - faces the same waterlogging and commute disruption common to India's tech hubs during heavy rain. Track Thiruvananthapuram weather before a Kovalam beach trip during monsoon season.
Seasonal Guide
Dec-Feb: Cool, Dry Season - The most comfortable months and Kovalam's peak tourist season.
Mar-May: Hot, Humid Pre-Monsoon - High coastal humidity makes the heat feel worse than the number suggests.
Jun-Nov: Southwest and Retreating Monsoon - Kerala's monsoon arrives among the earliest in India, typically by late May to early June; check Thiruvananthapuram AQI alongside rain alerts.
Data Methodology
Weather and AQI figures are drawn from public government monitoring sources and refreshed regularly. See Kerala weather and AQI for how Thiruvananthapuram compares with other cities in the state.
