Air quality today
Today the air quality in Bulawayo is classified as Good. The primary pollutant measured is PM2.5, with a recorded concentration of 5.0 µg/m³. This value is based on a single observation taken on 2026-02-16 09:00 UTC. The reported concentration matches the reference level used for evaluating air quality in the region. The measurement was captured by a certified sensor that contributes to the OpenAQ platform. The data are provided through OpenAQ, which aggregates information from monitoring stations in the area. No other pollutants reached the reporting threshold for this period.
Only one valid measurement was available to determine the category. The assessment reflects the conditions at the time of sampling. This page is informational; for health guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.
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 current station data listed for this city is focused on particulate matter (PM). Only PM2.5 measurements are available, coming from two monitoring rows. One of those rows has been updated within the last seven days, while the other is classified as old, meaning its last reading predates the most recent seven‑day window. The newest timestamp in the dataset is 2026-02-10 15:00 UTC, recorded at the KDT Makhandeni Bulawayo site.
Across the two stations, PM2.5 values span from a minimum of 2.0 µg/m³ to a maximum of 5.0 µg/m³, with a median of 3.5 µg/m³. The 10th percentile sits at 2.3 µg/m³ and the 90th percentile at 4.7 µg/m³, indicating that most recent observations cluster in the low‑to‑mid single digits. The most recent reading shows 5.0 µg/m³ at KDT Makhandeni Bulawayo on 2026-02-10 15:00 UTC. Because the dataset includes only two stations and one of them provides older data, the picture of air quality in Bulawayo is limited and can vary by location and time.
