Air quality today

The air quality in Islamabad today is classified as Unhealthy. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles). Measurements show a PM2.5 concentration of 65.23 µg/m³ based on eleven valid observations recorded by OpenAQ.

What the data includes

The OpenAQ feed for Islamabad includes five measured variables: fine particulate matter (PM2.5), coarse‑size particles (PM1), relative humidity, temperature and particle number concentration (UM003). The dataset is drawn from four monitoring rows across the city, with each row representing a distinct sensor location. All recent observations were recorded at the Raja Rehan E11/4 site on 2026-02-10 22:00 UTC, so the newest timestamps are less than two days old for every pollutant.

PM2.5 values range from a low of 16 µg/m³ to a high of 65.23 µg/m³, with a median around 53.21 µg/m³; the inter‑decile spread (10th–90th percentile) runs from about 23.8 to 64.98 µg/m³, indicating most recent readings cluster toward the upper end of the observed range. PM1 shows a much tighter band, varying only between 37.82 and 40.02 µg/m³, with a median of 38.92 µg/m³ and a 10th–90th percentile window of roughly 38.04 to 39.80 µg/m³. Relative humidity is recorded between 54.63 % and 60.34 %, centering near 57.49 %; temperature spans 13.14 °C to 15.66 °C, with a median of about 14.40 °C. Particle number concentration (UM003) ranges from 2,897 to 3,067 particles/cm³, median roughly 2,982, and the 10th–90th percentile interval sits between 2,914 and 3,050 particles/cm³.

Coverage is uneven: while PM2.5 and PM1 each have four recent rows, humidity, temperature and UM003 are represented by only two rows each, limiting spatial detail for those variables. All data points are fresh (updated within the last week), but because they come from a single site, city‑wide conditions may differ across neighborhoods and times of day.

Data notes

The data shown reflects 11 valid measurements and is Updated within 3 days, with the most recent reading recorded on 2026‑02‑10 at 22:00 UTC. This snapshot provides a current view of Islamabad’s air quality but conditions can differ across neighborhoods and change throughout the day, so local variations may not be captured in these figures.
