What the data includes

The open‑air quality feed for Kangar currently contains data from nine rows across three monitoring stations. All six measured variables are represented: fine particles (PM2.5), coarse particles (PM10), ultrafine particles (PM1), relative humidity, temperature and the particle counter UM003. The most recent observations were recorded on 2026‑02‑10 at 16:00 UTC for five of the pollutants – PM2.5, PM1, temperature, relative humidity and UM003 – all coming from the SM SAINS TUANKU SYED PUTRA site. The only older entry is the PM10 value, last updated on 2023‑07‑07 at 02:00 UTC from Ban Padang Community School.

Across the recent data set the measured concentrations show a modest spread. PM2.5 values range from a low of 10.9 µg/m³ to a high of 17.13 µg/m³, with a median near 11.0 µg/m³ and the 90th percentile at about 15.9 µg/m³, indicating most readings cluster in the lower‑mid teens. Temperature values are tightly grouped between 29.12 °C and 29.93 °C, median 29.53 °C, while relative humidity is a single recorded point of 48.09 %. The PM1 reading is also singular at 7.025 µg/m³, and UM003 reports a constant 648.23 particles/cm³.

Two notable patterns emerge from the numbers. First, the dataset is heavily weighted toward very recent measurements for five pollutants, but PM10 remains outdated by more than two years, highlighting uneven temporal coverage across variables. Second, despite having nine rows, only three stations contribute data, and four of those rows are classified as “unknown” or “old,” meaning a sizable portion of the city’s spatial variability is not captured in this snapshot. Consequently, while the available figures give a clear picture of current conditions at specific sites, they do not reflect the full range of air quality that may exist elsewhere in Kangar at any given moment.
