How is Dehradun'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 Dehradun is CO. Dehradun's current AQI of 300 falls in the "Poor" band (201–300).
Is Dehradun's air quality safe today?
Not fully - Dehradun is at Poor today (AQI 300). Reduce prolonged outdoor exertion. Everyone may start noticing breathing discomfort.
What are today's petrol and diesel prices in Dehradun?
Petrol is ₹100.55/L, diesel ₹95.93/L, for Dehradun. 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 Dehradun's gold price match the national rate?
Gold is one national spot rate, not set city by city - Dehradun'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 Dehradun today?
Yes - banks in Uttarakhand are open today. Next closure: Sunday, 6 Sep.
What is Rahu Kalam in Dehradun today?
Rahu Kalam in Dehradun today runs from 12:25 PM to 2:01 PM. Hindu tradition treats this window as inauspicious for starting new ventures, travel, or important decisions.
Why Check Dehradun's Weather and AQI?
Dehradun, Uttarakhand's capital, sits in a valley at the foothills of the Himalayas and serves as the main gateway to Mussoorie and the region's wider Himalayan and Char Dham pilgrimage tourism. It's also a major educational hub, home to institutions including the Doon School, the Indian Military Academy and the Forest Research Institute.
Himalayan Gateway and Education Hub Impact
Travelers heading further into the mountains - whether to Mussoorie for a weekend or onward toward the Char Dham pilgrimage routes - check Dehradun's weather as the first indicator of road and visibility conditions ahead, since valley weather here often differs sharply from the high-altitude routes beyond it. Track Dehradun weather before a onward trip into the hills.
Seasonal Guide
Oct-Feb: Cool Season - Dehradun's most comfortable months, with winter fog common in the valley.
Mar-Jun: Warm Summer - Milder than the plains thanks to its elevation, but still the peak season for onward hill travel.
Jul-Sep: Monsoon - Heavy rain can disrupt mountain roads beyond the city; check Dehradun AQI and road conditions together.
Data Methodology
Weather and AQI figures are drawn from public government monitoring sources and refreshed regularly. See Uttarakhand weather and AQI for how Dehradun compares with other cities in the state.
