Air quality today

The air quality in Gold Coast City today is classified as Good. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5. Four valid measurements were recorded for the assessment, and the data are shown via OpenAQ. PM10 was also measured, providing a broader view of particulate matter in the atmosphere.

According to OpenAQ data, the PM2.5 concentration is 5.2 µg/m³ and the PM10 concentration is 15.4 µg/m³. The latest reading was recorded on 2026-02-12 06:00 UTC. Both values are expressed in micrograms per cubic metre. These concentrations are consistent with typical urban background levels for the area. OpenAQ aggregates data from multiple monitoring stations across the city. Data timestamps are in Coordinated Universal Time. This page is informational; for guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.

What the data includes

The Gold Coast City air‑quality feed currently provides three measured pollutants – fine particulate matter (PM2.5), coarse particulate matter (PM10) and ambient temperature – collected from three monitoring stations. In total ten data rows are stored, but only four of those have been updated within the past three days; the remaining six rows are older than thirty days. For PM2.5 there are five recent observations, the most recent recorded at Coomera on 2026‑02‑10 22:00 UTC with a value of 4.1 µg/m³. PM10 is represented by four recent rows, also from Coomera on the same timestamp, reporting 13.6 µg/m³. Temperature data is limited to a single entry from Dorretti Circuit 1 on 2023‑10‑14 13:00 UTC, showing a stable reading of 23.700000762939453 °C.

Across the recent PM2.5 measurements the values range from a low of 3.4 µg/m³ to a high of 5.2 µg/m³, with a median of 4.2 µg/m³ and the central 80 % of observations falling between roughly 3.68 and 4.96 µg/m³. PM10 shows a broader spread, from 8.7 µg/m³ up to 15.4 µg/m³, a median of 13.35 µg/m³, and an 80 % interval of about 10.02 to 14.86 µg/m³. The temperature figure is constant because only one historic record is available, so no range can be described for this parameter.

The dataset therefore offers fresh, multi‑station coverage for particulate matter but is sparse for temperature, with most rows being recent for PM2.5 and PM10 and a single older temperature entry. Because the observations come from only a few sites, conditions can differ across the wider Gold Coast area and may not reflect the full spatial variability at any given moment.
