Air quality today

The air quality today in Malé is classified as USG. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5, with a measured concentration of 52.48 µg/m³ based on five valid observations reported through OpenAQ.

Data for this assessment are limited to the available measurements and do not include additional pollutants or historical trends. This page is informational; for health guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.

What the data includes

The dataset for Malé contains six individual measurements taken at the Siththimaavaa Hingun monitoring site. All of the pollutants tracked by OpenAQ are represented: fine particles (PM1), coarse particles (PM10), fine‑particle mass (PM2.5), relative humidity, temperature and particle count (UM003). Because each pollutant appears as a separate row, the city’s air‑quality record consists of six rows in total.

The most recent observations were recorded on 2026-02-10 at 23:00 UTC for five of the six parameters – PM1, PM2.5, relative humidity, temperature and UM003 – meaning that fresh data are available for these variables within the last three days. The remaining measurement, PM10, is older; its latest entry dates back to 2025-01-13 at 23:00 UTC, so it is more than a year out of date. All values are currently single‑point readings, with each pollutant showing identical minimum, median and maximum figures (for example, PM1 registers exactly 33.01933342615764 µg/m³). This lack of variation indicates that the dataset captures only one snapshot rather than a range of conditions.

Because the city’s air‑quality picture relies on a single monitoring location, spatial coverage is limited – variations across different neighborhoods or times of day are not reflected in these numbers. The data also illustrate an uneven temporal profile: five pollutants are up‑to‑date, while PM10 remains stale. Consequently, any assessment of Malé’s overall atmospheric state should consider that the available figures represent a narrow moment at one site and may not capture broader fluctuations throughout the city.

Data notes

The data shown reflects five valid measurements and is updated within 3 days, with the most recent reading recorded on 2026‑02‑10T23:00:00+00:00. This snapshot provides a brief overview of current conditions in Malé; however, air quality can vary across different neighbourhoods and times of day within the city, so values may not represent every location or moment precisely.
