Air quality today

The air quality today in Cuxhaven is classified as USG. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles). Measurements show a PM2.5 reference value of 50.92 µg/m³ and a PM10 reference value of 28.77 µg/m³, based on nine valid observations recorded via OpenAQ.

These figures reflect the current monitoring results for the city. This page is informational; for health guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.

What the data includes

The OpenAQ feed for Cuxhaven in Lower Saxony contains data from two monitoring sites and a total of eleven recorded rows. All eight pollutants tracked at the city level are present: nitrogen monoxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), particulate matter 1 µm (PM₁), PM₂.5, PM₁₀, relative humidity and temperature. The most recent observations were all recorded on 2026‑02‑10, with the exception of NO which dates back to 2024‑03‑11, so five of the eight parameters have measurements that are less than two days old while one (NO) is considerably older.

Across the recent data set the concentrations show a modest spread. PM₁₀ values range from 28.8 µg/m³ at Elbmündung to a maximum of 44.5 µg/m³, with a median around 36.6 µg/m³; PM₂.5 varies between 28.7 µg/m³ and 50.9 µg/m³, median 39.8 µg/m³, indicating that the finer particles can reach substantially higher levels at Altenwalde. The single‑point readings for NO (6.91 µg/m³), NO₂ (21.34 µg/m³) and O₃ (26.52 µg/m³) are all from Elbmündung, so spatial coverage for these gases is limited to one site.

Relative humidity and temperature are also only reported from Altenwalde, with a humidity of 65.95 % and a temperature of 7.41 °C at the time of measurement. Because most pollutants are captured at just one or two locations and the NO data is over a year old, the snapshot does not reflect city‑wide variability that may occur throughout the day or across different neighborhoods. Users should keep in mind that conditions can differ by place and moment, especially for gases where only a single station contributes recent values.

Data notes

The data shown for Cuxhaven are based on nine valid measurements and were refreshed recently, with the latest update recorded at 2026‑02‑10T19:00:00+00:00 (updated within 3 days). This snapshot reflects conditions at the time of sampling; air quality can differ across neighborhoods and change throughout the day, so values may not represent every location or moment in the city.
