The relative humidity recorded at 8.30 am was 73 per cent, the IMD bulletin said.
Private forecaster Skymet Weather said rainfall is likely in the region on August 29.
"Winds will blow from the northwest on August 28, at the time of the twin towers demolition. It will be a threat to Delhi as dust may travel to Uttar Pradesh initially but may change direction on August 29 and blow from the east," Skymet Weather vice-president Mahesh Palawat said.
Rain on August 29 can wash away the pollution, he added.
