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 OZONE. Cuttack's current AQI of 35 falls in the "Good" band (0–50).
Is Cuttack's air quality safe today?

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 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.
