Weather Conditions
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted clear skies for the day, indicating an uninterrupted clash between India and Pakistan (IND vs PAK). IMD Gujarat assures that even in the event of light or moderate rain, it should be confined to specific areas and not disrupt the match. However, the IMD has issued a caution to the residents of Ahmedabad regarding deteriorating air quality. The weather department highlights that increasing pollution levels could significantly impact individuals in sensitive groups, such as children and the elderly. Given that the India vs. Pakistan match is sold out, with an expected influx of around 1,30,000 people, it’s important to consider the potential problems poor air quality may pose for susceptible groups.
