Why it ranks here

Unusually bad for Srinagar. The last 7 days averaged 41.9 µg/m³, about 2.7× its typical day (15.8). A jump like this usually has a short-lived cause: likely smoke from fires, dust, or stagnant weather trapping local emissions.

Seasonal. Over the past year its worst months were November, averaging up to 117.3 µg/m³ against 13.0 in its cleanest month. Seasonal peaks usually come from heating, crop burning, fire or dust seasons.

Based on Srinagar's own measurements; causes are the usual kinds for a pattern like this, not a confirmed source.
