Meanwhile, the air temperature is low due to pollution that has accumulated in the troposphere. This is monitored from the air quality monitoring station (SPKLU) managed by the Environmental Service.
"This high humidity and low temperature resulted in air quality conditions such as fog, supported also by cloudy weather," said Yogi.
