Air quality today
The air quality in Birendranagar today is classified as Unhealthy. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles). The latest measurement indicates a PM2.5 concentration of 66.34 µg/m³, calculated from ten valid observations. The reference value reported for PM2.5 is 66.34 µg/m³. No PM10 data is available for this assessment, and the dataset does not include a PM10 reference value. All ten measurements were recorded within the latest reporting window. The reported figure reflects the average of the recent sample set. Data is shown via OpenAQ.

Latest sensor values
PM categories follow US EPA AQI breakpoints, shown here as an estimate derived from the latest valid measurements (this project does not compute EPA NowCast/24-hour AQI yet).
What the data includes
The Birendranagar air‑quality feed draws from two monitoring stations, providing ten recent rows of data that were all recorded on 2026‑02‑10 at 22:00 UTC, so the information is fresh and falls within the last 30 days. Five pollutants are reported: PM1, PM2.5, relative humidity, temperature and the particle count UM003. Each pollutant has the same two‑station coverage and the same ten recent observations, indicating a balanced sampling across the measured variables.
PM1 values range from about 22 µg/m³ at the low end to roughly 36 µg/m³ at the high end, with a median near 29 µg/m³. PM2.5 spans a broader interval, from roughly 37 µg/m³ up to 66 µg/m³, and its median of about 52 µg/m³ is almost double the PM1 median, showing that larger fine particles are present in higher concentrations. Relative humidity varies between 39 % and 58 %, centering around 49 %, while temperature moves from a cool 16.3 °C to a warm 22.2 °C, with a typical reading close to 19.2 °C. The UM003 particle count shows the widest spread, from about 1 244 particles/cm³ to 2 745 particles/cm³, with a median near 1 995 particles/cm³, reflecting considerable fluctuation in overall particle density.
Overall, the dataset offers a recent, uniformly collected snapshot of Birendranagar’s ambient conditions, but the modest number of stations means that local variations across the city may not be fully captured. The observed ranges illustrate that while temperature and humidity stay within moderate bounds, particulate matter and total particle counts exhibit notable variability, underscoring the importance of multiple measurement points for a complete picture.
