Air quality today

The air quality in Dubai is classified as USG today. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles).

Measurements show a PM2.5 concentration of 44.69 µg/m³ based on 35 valid observations reported via OpenAQ. This page is informational; for health guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.

What the data includes

Dubai’s OpenAQ feed currently includes six measured pollutants – PM1, PM2.5, PM10, relative humidity, temperature and particle count (UM003). The dataset comprises 54 rows collected from 10 monitoring stations across the emirate. Freshness varies: for five of the pollutants (PM1, PM2.5, relative humidity, temperature and UM003) the most recent reading was taken on 2026‑02‑10 at 19:00 UTC, while PM10’s latest entry dates back to 2025‑01‑13 at 23:00 UTC. Overall, 35 rows are less than seven days old, 14 are older than thirty days and five have an unknown timestamp, meaning a substantial portion of the data reflects recent conditions but some measurements are dated.

The values show a moderate spread. PM1 concentrations range from about 10 µg/m³ to just under 30 µg/m³, with a median near 24 µg/m³; PM2.5 varies between roughly 17 µg/m³ and 45 µg/m³, centering on a median of 35 µg/m³. PM10, based on older data, sits between 39 µg/m³ and 66 µg/m³ with a median around 61 µg/m³. Relative humidity spans from 39 % to 85 %, typically near 53 %; temperature covers 20.6 °C to 34.3 °C, most often close to 24 °C. Particle counts (UM003) are more variable, ranging from about 758 particles/cm³ up to 6,697 particles/cm³, with a median of roughly 1,857 particles/cm³.

These figures illustrate that while recent measurements are available for most pollutants, the coverage is uneven—PM10 data is older and fewer stations contribute to certain parameters. Consequently, city‑wide conditions can differ by location and time, and the snapshot presented reflects the specific moments captured by the current sensor network.

Data notes

The data shown reflects 35 valid measurements and is updated within 3 days, with the most recent reading recorded on 2026‑02‑10 at 19:00 UTC. While this provides a current snapshot of Dubai’s air quality, conditions can differ across neighborhoods and change throughout the day, so values may not represent every location or moment within the city.
