What the data includes

The Almaty air‑quality dataset contains measurements for PM2.5, PM1, PM10, relative humidity, temperature and particle count (UM003). In total the feed includes 50 data rows drawn from 41 monitoring locations, but most of those rows are dated. Only five rows have been updated within the last seven days; the remaining 44 rows are classified as “old” and one row has an unknown timestamp. The freshest readings – all recorded on 2026‑02‑10 at 18:00 UTC – come from the Qapparov köşesı (akbota.info) station.

Across the recent data, PM2.5 values span a very wide range, from just above zero up to 3 022 µg/m³, with a median of 18.8 µg/m³ and the 90th percentile near 1 494 µg/m³. PM1 shows a tighter distribution, ranging between about 4.6 and 20.6 µg/m³, median 12.6 µg/m³. Relative humidity recorded at this site varies from roughly 30 % to 53 %, with a typical value around 42 %. Temperature measurements cover 8.5 °C up to 28.9 °C, the middle of the observed spread being about 18.7 °C. Particle concentration (UM003) ranges from 484 to 3 104 particles per cm³, median near 1 794.

PM10 is represented by a single older entry dated 2025‑01‑13 at 23:00 UTC, showing a constant value of 30.16 µg/m³. Because the dataset is dominated by old or unknown timestamps, it does not capture current spatial variations across Almaty; conditions can differ markedly between neighborhoods and over time, so the figures above reflect only the limited recent snapshot available.
