Air quality today

The air quality in Lahore today is classified as Unhealthy. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles). Measurements show a PM2.5 concentration of 65.66 µg/m³ based on 21 valid readings collected via OpenAQ.

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

Lahore’s OpenAQ feed contains six measured pollutants – PM1, PM2.5, PM10, temperature, relative humidity and particle number concentration (UM003). The dataset draws from 34 individual rows of sensor data collected at seven monitoring stations across the city. For most parameters the latest readings are from 2026‑02‑10 22:00 UTC, meaning they have been updated within the past week; only PM10 comes from an older record dated 2024‑04‑24 02:03 UTC.

The recent data show a wide spread in concentrations. PM1 values range from about 17 µg/m³ up to 87 µg/m³, with a median of roughly 41 µg/m³; PM2.5 varies between 26 µg/m³ and 146 µg/m³, centering on a median near 59 µg/m³. Temperature measurements span from 17 °C to almost 39 °C, the middle of which sits at about 22 °C. Relative humidity is recorded between 25 % and 53 %, with a typical value around 43 %. Particle number counts (UM003) cover 1 000 to 6 500 particles per cm³, medianing near 2 800.

Coverage across pollutants is uneven. While PM1, PM2.5, temperature, relative humidity and UM003 each have seven recent rows, PM10 is represented by a single old entry, so city‑wide particulate matter larger than 10 µm cannot be assessed with current granularity. Moreover, the “unknown” freshness bucket contains five rows, indicating that some measurements lack clear update timestamps. Consequently, while the fresh data give a snapshot of conditions at the Civil Secretariat site and a few other locations, overall air‑quality patterns in Lahore can differ by neighbourhood and time of day, especially for pollutants with sparse or outdated records.

Data notes

The data shown reflects 21 valid measurements and is updated within 3 days, with the latest values recorded on 2026‑02‑10T22:00:00+00:00. While this snapshot provides a current view of Lahore’s air quality, conditions can differ across neighborhoods and change throughout the day, so local variations may not be captured in these aggregated figures.
