How is Cuttack'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 Cuttack is CO. Cuttack's current AQI of 335 falls in the "Very Poor" band (301–400).
Is Cuttack's air quality safe today?
Not fully - Cuttack is at Very Poor today (AQI 335). Avoid outdoor exertion. Wear a mask outside; sensitive groups should stay indoors.
What are today's petrol and diesel prices in Cuttack?
Petrol is ₹109.33/L, diesel ₹101.02/L, for Cuttack. 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 Cuttack's gold price match the national rate?
Gold is one national spot rate, not set city by city - Cuttack'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 Cuttack today?
Yes - banks in Odisha are open today. Next closure: Janmashtami/Krishna Jayanthi, 4 Sep.
What is Rahu Kalam in Cuttack today?
Rahu Kalam in Cuttack today runs from 4:08 PM to 5:44 PM. Hindu tradition treats this window as inauspicious for starting new ventures, travel, or important decisions.
Why Check Cuttack's Weather and AQI?
Cuttack, Odisha's historic commercial capital, is known for its centuries-old silver filigree craft, called tarakasi, and sits on a Mahanadi River delta island that has made it vulnerable to flooding for as long as the city has existed. That combination - a delicate handicraft trade and a genuine flood-prone location - makes river levels a real everyday concern here, not just during major storms.
Handicraft Trade and Mahanadi Flood Impact
Silver filigree workshops depend on steady, dry working conditions for fine detail work, while the Mahanadi's delta location means sustained upstream rain can raise river levels enough to flood low-lying parts of the old city, a recurring monsoon-season event. Track Cuttack weather and river levels together during monsoon season.
Seasonal Guide
Nov-Feb: Cool, Dry Season - Cuttack's most comfortable months.
Mar-Jun: Hot Summer - Highs regularly exceed 38°C.
Jul-Oct: Monsoon, Flood Risk - Check Cuttack AQI and Mahanadi river-level alerts together.
Data Methodology
Weather and AQI figures are drawn from public government monitoring sources and refreshed regularly. See Odisha weather and AQI for how Cuttack compares with other cities in the state.
