How is Cuddalore'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 Cuddalore is PM10. Cuddalore's current AQI of 81 falls in the "Satisfactory" band (51–100).
Is Cuddalore's air quality safe today?
Yes - Cuddalore's AQI of 81 is in the "Satisfactory" range, CPCB's safest bands, with no outdoor activity restrictions.
Why does 29°C feel like 32°C in Cuddalore?
"Feels like" factors in humidity and wind on top of the actual air temperature. At 73% humidity and 18 kph wind, Cuddalore's air right now feels hotter than the thermometer reading - high humidity slows sweat evaporation, so your body sheds heat less efficiently than the raw air temperature alone would suggest.

Petrol is ₹109.75/L, diesel ₹101.56/L, for Cuddalore. 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 Cuddalore's gold price match the national rate?
Gold is one national spot rate, not set city by city - Cuddalore'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 Cuddalore today?

What is Rahu Kalam in Cuddalore today?

Why Check Cuddalore's Weather and AQI?
Cuddalore is a district in Tamil Nadu, part of the Tamil Nadu plains. With a population of 2,605,914, agriculture and textile manufacturing remains a significant part of the local economy here, as in most of Tamil Nadu, which makes seasonal rainfall timing a genuine practical concern for a large share of residents - not just a forecast curiosity.
Seasonal Guide
The southwest monsoon typically reaches this part of Tamil Nadu by October to December (the northeast monsoon, unlike most of India which relies on the June-September southwest monsoon). Outside the monsoon, hot, humid summers from March to June. Track Cuddalore weather and Cuddalore AQI for current conditions, or see Tamil Nadu weather and AQI for how Cuddalore compares with other districts in the state.
