Why it ranks here

Chronic pollution. Its typical day over the past year was 31.5 µg/m³, 2.1× the WHO 24-hour guideline, so it ranks high most of the time, not only during events.

Seasonal. Over the past year its worst months were January, November, December, averaging up to 121.7 µg/m³ against 20.8 in its cleanest month. Seasonal peaks usually come from heating, crop burning, fire or dust seasons.

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