How is Kohima'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 Kohima is CO. Kohima's current AQI of 125 falls in the "Moderate" band (101–200).
Is Kohima's air quality safe today?
Not fully - Kohima 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 Kohima?
Petrol is ₹104.87/L, diesel ₹96.16/L, for Kohima. 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 Kohima's gold price match the national rate?
Gold is one national spot rate, not set city by city - Kohima'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 Kohima today?
Yes - banks in Nagaland are open today. Next closure: Sunday, 6 Sep.
What is Rahu Kalam in Kohima today?
Rahu Kalam in Kohima today runs from 4:41 PM to 6:17 PM. Hindu tradition treats this window as inauspicious for starting new ventures, travel, or important decisions.
Why Check Kohima's Weather and AQI?
Kohima, Nagaland's capital, is the site of the Battle of Kohima, a pivotal World War II battle commemorated at the Kohima War Cemetery, and hosts the Hornbill Festival every December, a major celebration of Naga tribal culture that draws visitors from across India and abroad. The festival runs almost entirely outdoors across the Naga Heritage Village.
Hornbill Festival and Heritage Tourism Impact
The Hornbill Festival's outdoor performances, food stalls and tribal displays depend on manageable December weather, and Kohima's hill-station elevation means conditions can turn cold quickly compared to the plains. Track Kohima weather before traveling for the Hornbill Festival.
Seasonal Guide
Dec: Hornbill Festival - Kohima's biggest tourism event; check the forecast before attending.
Oct-Feb: Cool, Dry Season - Comfortable days but genuinely cold nights at this elevation.
Mar-Sep: Warmer, With Monsoon Rain - Check Kohima AQI alongside the forecast for outdoor travel.
