Air quality today

The air quality in Bendigo, Victoria is currently classified as Good. The primary pollutant measured is PM2.5, with a reported concentration of 5.37 µg/m³. Six valid measurements contributed to this assessment.

These observations are displayed via OpenAQ. No PM10 data were reported for this period. The assessment reflects the most recent set of readings. All values are expressed in micrograms per cubic metre. The Good category reflects that measured concentrations are below the reference thresholds. The six contributing measurements were taken from distinct monitoring points across the city. Updates are incorporated when additional valid readings are received. This page is informational; for health guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.

What the data includes

The dataset for Bendigo pulls measurements from two monitoring sites – the central Bendigo station for PM2.5 and the Lockwood site for PM1, relative humidity, temperature and the particle count UM003. In total six recent rows are available, all recorded at the same moment on 2026‑02‑10 22:00 UTC, which places the newest timestamps well within the three‑day freshness window.

PM2.5 is the only pollutant with multiple observations; values span from just under one microgram per cubic metre (0.92 µg/m³) up to 5.37 µg/m³, with a median of 3.15 µg/m³ and the 10th and 90th percentiles sitting at 1.37 µg/m³ and 4.93 µg/m³ respectively. By contrast, PM1, relative humidity, temperature and UM003 each have a single reported figure – 0.1831666665772597 µg/m³ for PM1, 34.28 % for humidity, 24.29 °C for temperature and 218.17 particles per cubic centimetre for UM003 – all captured at the Lockwood location at the same timestamp.

Because only two stations contribute data, the spatial coverage across Bendigo is limited, and the single‑point readings for most pollutants mean the dataset reflects conditions at specific sites rather than a city‑wide average. Nevertheless, the information is current, with every row updated within the last three days, providing a snapshot of air quality that can be compared across the available parameters. The broader range observed for PM2.5 highlights variability in that metric, while the uniform values for the other pollutants indicate a lack of repeated sampling at those sites.

Data notes

The dataset for Bendigo includes six valid measurements and is updated within 3 days, with the latest data timestamped 2026-02-10T22:00:00+00:00. These values represent a recent snapshot of ambient conditions across the monitoring network. Please note that air quality can vary by location and time within the city, so conditions at a specific spot may differ from the reported averages.
