Air quality today

The air quality today in Manila is classified as USG. The primary pollutant identified for the current assessment is PM2.5, fine particulate matter that is measured by monitoring stations across the city.

According to OpenAQ data, the latest PM2.5 concentration recorded is 40.23 µg/m³ based on seven valid measurements. This figure reflects the most recent sampling period available for Manila. This page is informational; for health guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.

What the data includes

Manila’s air‑quality feed currently draws from twelve recent observations recorded at four monitoring sites. All five pollutants measured—PM2.5, PM1, relative humidity, temperature and UM003 (particle count)—have data that were last updated on 2026‑02‑10 23:00 UTC, meaning the newest timestamps are less than a week old across the board.

The concentration of fine particulate matter shows a modest spread. For PM2.5 the values recorded range from a low of 27.56 µg/m³ to a high of 41.80 µg/m³, with a median around 34.33 µg/m³; the most extreme reading at Lawton was 40.23 µg/m³. PM1 follows a similar pattern, varying between 16.53 and 27.51 µg/m³, a median of about 22.02 µg/m³, and the peak measurement also coming from Lawton at 27.51 µg/m³. Relative humidity in the city fluctuates between roughly 39.6 % and 56.9 %, centering near 48.3 %; the highest value was again logged at Lawton. Temperature readings span from about 26.10 °C to 34.55 °C, with a median of 30.32 °C, while UM003 particle counts range from 1 133 to 1 753 particles per cm³, median roughly 1 443, and the maximum also recorded at Lawton.

Because the dataset consists of only four stations, spatial coverage is limited; conditions can differ across Manila’s many districts, especially where monitoring points are absent. Nevertheless, the data are uniformly recent, with every pollutant refreshed within the past seven days, providing a timely snapshot of the city’s ambient environment at the time of collection.

Data notes

The data shown reflects seven valid measurements and is updated within 3 days, with the latest reading recorded on 2026‑02‑10 at 23:00 UTC. While this snapshot provides a current view of Manila’s air quality, conditions can differ across neighborhoods and change throughout the day, so values may vary locally and over short periods.
