Some wrong facts in your video. 1) Delhi's air pollution does not peak during winters, but during autumns. Late-October to mid-November is the worst phase for Delhi's air due to variety of reasons. This is when the city sees horrible smog- which is an overload of pollutants clinging to moisture in still air. During the height of winters from mid-December to late-January, the city's air is relatively much cleaner, though still polluted. In these months, Delhi sees fog as a natural phenomenon. 2) Delhi's air did not start deteriorating from 2016. It has been the case for well over two decades now. It is just that it became globally noticed in 2016 because the AQI meter outside the US embassy gave out readings that showed that the scale had saturated. 2016 was the worst year in Delhi's history of air pollution but the problem did not start then. 3) Wind does blow in winters. It is called the Westerlies. Wind, however, is more or less stagnant during the autumn season. Moreover, November is Delhi's driest or second driest month which means that Delhi extremely rarely sees precipitation during the autumn season which keeps the pollutants suspended in the air until wind starts to blow. These reasons are why this period of autumn is toxically polluted. 4) Delhi is not a low-lying area. It has an elevation of around 250m above sea level and around half of it sits on the northernmost portion of the Aravali Range. Delhi has more elevation than several places in Punjab and Hariyana. Therefore, to say that Delhi's so-called low-lying geography is a reason is not correct. The real reason is what you initially said, which is that Delhi lies in the vast Indo-Gangetic Northern Plains which have more or the less the same elevation. This allows the north-western winds to sweep through Punjab, Hariyana, Delhi, U.P., etc. unhindered after emerging from the Himalayan mountains.
nice work
Great explanation, this is one of the few videos with less subs but huge potential
Great video, keep it up
