How is Aizawl'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 Aizawl is CO. Aizawl's current AQI of 113 falls in the "Moderate" band (101–200).
Is Aizawl's air quality safe today?
Not fully - Aizawl is at Moderate today (AQI 113). Sensitive groups (children, elderly, asthma/heart conditions) should limit prolonged outdoor exertion.
Why does Aizawl's gold price match the national rate?
Gold is one national spot rate, not set city by city - Aizawl'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 Aizawl today?
Yes - banks in Mizoram are open today. Next closure: Janmashtami/Krishna Jayanthi, 4 Sep.
What is Rahu Kalam in Aizawl today?
Rahu Kalam in Aizawl today runs from 4:35 PM to 6:11 PM. Hindu tradition treats this window as inauspicious for starting new ventures, travel, or important decisions.
Why Check Aizawl's Weather and AQI?
Aizawl, Mizoram's capital, is built across a series of steep ridges, giving it one of India's more dramatic hill-city layouts, in a state whose economy leans heavily on bamboo cultivation - Mizoram is one of India's largest bamboo-growing regions. The city's ridge-top geography makes it genuinely more exposed to wind and monsoon rain than most Indian state capitals.
Bamboo Economy and Hill Terrain Impact
Bamboo harvesting and transport across Mizoram's hill terrain slow considerably during heavy monsoon rain, when steep access roads become difficult to use, while Aizawl's own ridge-top streets are exposed to strong winds that flatter cities don't experience the same way. Track Aizawl weather before travel on the region's hill roads during monsoon season.
Seasonal Guide
Oct-Feb: Cool, Dry Season - Aizawl's most comfortable months.
Mar-May: Warm Summer - Mild compared to the plains, thanks to elevation.
Jun-Sep: Monsoon - Check Aizawl AQI and hill-road conditions together during heavy spells.
Data Methodology
Weather and AQI figures are drawn from public government monitoring sources and refreshed regularly.
