What the data includes

Rawalpindi City Tehsil’s OpenAQ feed currently draws on 13 rows of data collected at the Rawalpindi Women University monitoring site. All five measured variables – PM1, PM2.5, relative humidity, temperature and UM003 (particle count) – are represented in these rows, each with a most‑recent update timestamp of 2026-02-10 22:00 UTC, meaning the latest values are less than two weeks old.

The concentration data show a fairly wide spread. PM1 values range from 0 µg/m³ up to about 89 µg/m³, with a median of roughly 41 µg/m³; PM2.5 spans 0 µg/m³ to nearly 140 µg/m³ and a median near 66 µg/m³. Relative humidity varies between 26 % and 63 %, centering around 51 %; temperature records extend from about 16.5 °C to 44 °C, with a typical reading close to 18 °C. Particle counts (UM003) are especially variable, falling from roughly 36 particles/cm³ to over 6,600 particles/cm³, while the median sits at about 3,095 particles/cm³.

The dataset is recent for all pollutants, but coverage is limited to a single location and only thirteen rows, so it captures conditions at one point rather than across the whole city. The percentiles illustrate that most recent measurements cluster toward the lower half of each range (10th percentile values are 23 µg/m³ for PM1, 35 µg/m³ for PM2.5, 30 % humidity, 16.6 °C temperature and 1,294 particles/cm³ for UM003), indicating that higher extremes are less common in the latest sample set. Because the data come from one site, conditions elsewhere in Rawalpindi may differ, especially given the broad ranges observed.
