Air quality today
The air quality in Inverness today is classified as Good. The primary pollutant measured is PM2.5 (fine particles). According to the latest data, the PM2.5 concentration is 6.0 µg/m³ and the PM10 level is 9.0 µg/m³, based on three valid measurements.
Data is shown via OpenAQ. 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
Inverness’s OpenAQ feed currently provides data for three key pollutants – nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulate matter 10 µm or less (PM10) and fine particulate matter 2.5 µm or less (PM2.5). All of these measurements come from a single monitoring location identified as Inver‑Inverness - UKA00434, so the city’s air‑quality picture is based on one reporting site.
The dataset contains three recent rows, each representing one pollutant, and every row was last updated on 2026-02-10 20:00 UTC. This means that the newest timestamps are all within the past week, giving a very fresh snapshot of conditions at the time of collection. For NO2 the recorded value is exactly 7.0 µg/m³; PM10 shows a uniform reading of 9.0 µg/m³; and PM2.5 is reported as 6.0 µg/m³. Because each pollutant has only one observed value, the minimum, median, maximum, 10th percentile and 90th percentile are all identical for that day.
With just one monitoring station, coverage across the city is limited – there is no spatial variation captured in this dataset. The uniformity of the numbers also means there is no spread to describe; each pollutant’s range collapses to a single point. While the data are up‑to‑date, users should keep in mind that air quality can differ across neighborhoods and times not represented by this solitary, momentary measurement.

Data notes
The data shown reflects three valid measurements and is updated within 3 days, with the latest reading recorded on 2026‑02‑10 at 20:00 UTC. This snapshot provides a brief view of current conditions; however, air quality can vary across different neighbourhoods and times of day within Inverness, so values may not represent every location or moment throughout the city.
