Air quality today

The air quality today in North West Leicestershire is classified as Moderate. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles). Measurements show a PM2.5 concentration of 15.23 µg/m³ based on five valid observations recorded via OpenAQ.

Overall conditions reflect the Moderate category with PM2.5 as the dominant factor and no additional pollutants reported. This page is informational; for health guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.

What the data includes

North West Leicestershire’s open‑air quality feed draws on a single monitoring site, Hugglescote, which supplies six rows of data covering the full set of measured pollutants: PM1, PM10, PM2.5, relative humidity, temperature and UM003 (particle count). The dataset therefore reflects one location rather than a network of stations, meaning that conditions can differ across the wider district.

The most recent measurements were all recorded on 2026‑02‑10 at 21:00 UTC for five of the six pollutants, showing a very fresh snapshot of the air. PM10 is the exception, with its last update dated 2025‑01‑13 at 23:00 UTC, indicating that this particular metric is older by more than a year. Across the recent data the values are uniform within each pollutant: PM1 sits at 7.77 µg/m³, PM2.5 at 15.23 µg/m³, relative humidity at 73.47 %, temperature at 11.10 °C and UM003 at 1444.00 particles/cm³. Because the minimum, median and maximum are identical for each parameter, there is no observed spread in the current sample.

These facts highlight two practical points. First, the dataset provides a complete but very limited spatial picture – only one monitoring point contributes all six pollutant streams, so local variations elsewhere in North West Leicestershire are not captured. Second, while most variables are up‑to‑date, the PM10 record is noticeably outdated, which means recent fine‑particle trends for that metric cannot be assessed from this source alone. Users should keep in mind that air quality can change throughout the day and across different neighborhoods, and the available numbers represent a single moment at a single site.
