Air quality today
The air quality in Hof today is classified as Moderate. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles).
Measurements from OpenAQ show a PM2.5 concentration of 25.34 µg/m³ based on seven valid readings. No PM10 value is available for this assessment. 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 OpenAQ feed for Hof includes eight measured pollutants: NO, NO2, O3, PM1, PM2.5, relative humidity, temperature and particle concentration (UM003). Data come from three monitoring stations, giving a total of fourteen rows in the current dataset. The most recent observations are from 2026‑02‑10 19:00 UTC for PM1, PM2.5, relative humidity, temperature and UM003, while the NO reading is older, last updated on 2024‑03‑11 11:00 UTC. All other pollutants (NO2 and O3) were also refreshed on 2026‑02‑10 17:00 UTC.
Across the two stations that report particulate matter, PM1 values range from 0.0 to 15.35 µg/m³ with a median of about 7.68 µg/m³, while PM2.5 spans 0.35 to 25.34 µg/m³ and a median near 12.85 µg/m³. This indicates that the typical fine‑particle concentration in Hof is roughly half of the maximum recorded for each metric. Relative humidity measurements vary between 54.7 % and 60.2 %, centering around 57.5 %. Temperature records show a spread from 6.84 °C to 17.86 °C, with a median of 12.35 °C, reflecting the cooler early‑year conditions captured at the Bismarckturm Hof site.
The particle count (UM003) exhibits a wide range, from about 195 particles/cm³ up to 2 046 particles/cm³, with a median of 1 121 particles/cm³, suggesting considerable short‑term fluctuations in aerosol density. In contrast, the gaseous pollutants are represented by single values: NO at 3.55 µg/m³ (old data), NO2 at 17.34 µg/m³ and O3 at 49.39 µg/m³, each measured only once across the dataset. Because many rows are marked as old or unknown, especially for NO, the overall picture is limited to recent snapshots from a few locations; conditions can therefore differ by neighbourhood and time of day.

Data notes
The data shown for Hof reflects seven valid measurements and was refreshed recently, with the latest update recorded on 2026‑02‑10 at 19:00 UTC, meaning it is updated within three days. These values provide a snapshot of current conditions but air quality can differ across neighborhoods and change throughout the day, so local variations may not be captured in this summary.
