Right now the modelled US Air Quality Index for Udaipur, Rajasthan, India is 116, which falls in the "Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups" band (up to 150). People with heart or lung disease, older adults, children and teens should cut back on prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors.

PM2.5 is 41 µg/m³, 2.7 times the WHO 24-hour guideline of 15 µg/m³; PM10 is 125 µg/m³ against a guideline of 45; ozone is 87 µg/m³ (below the WHO 8-hour level of 100); nitrogen dioxide is 13 µg/m³ (below the 24-hour guideline of 25).
Also this hour: desert dust at 160 µg/m³, high enough to haze the sky, carbon monoxide 317 µg/m³.

Model vs measured
We found no measured PM2.5 sensor cell within 25 km of Udaipur, Rajasthan, so the numbers on this page are model estimates. Models capture regional pollution well but can miss very local sources such as a busy road or a nearby fire.
Wildfire smoke
PM2.5 is forecast to reach 56 µg/m³ in the next 24 hours while NASA satellites detected 159 fire hotspots within 300 km in the last day (nearest about 28 km away). Smoke is a likely contributor: keep windows closed, run an air purifier or HVAC filter, and check the fire map before heading out.
Advice for sensitive groups
At 116, children, older adults, pregnant people and anyone with asthma, COPD or heart disease should limit time outdoors, especially strenuous activity. A well-fitted N95/FFP2 mask cuts particle exposure; it does not filter ozone.
