Latest sensor values

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

The Thakhek monitoring set includes five measured variables: PM1 at 15.18 µg/m³, PM2.5 at 25.34 µg/m³, relative humidity at 49.18 %, temperature at 24.11 °C, and particle count (UM003) at 916.84 particles/cm³. All five readings come from a single station row, so the data represent one monitoring location in Thakhek – Khammouan. The most recent update for every pollutant was recorded on 2026-02-10 20:00 UTC, which falls within the “updated within 7 days” freshness category.

Because there is only one reporting row, the dataset does not show any spatial variation across the city; each pollutant has a single value rather than a range. Nevertheless, the statistics reveal that for every parameter the minimum, median and maximum are identical (PM1 15.18 µg/m³, PM2.5 25.34 µg/m³, humidity 49.18 %, temperature 24.11 °C, UM003 916.84 particles/cm³), indicating no observed variability in the recent measurement period. The 10th and 90th percentiles match these same figures, confirming a uniform snapshot rather than a distribution.

Overall, the data are fresh—last refreshed less than a week ago—but limited to one location and a single time point. Users should keep in mind that conditions can differ across neighborhoods or later in the day, and the current values provide only a momentary view of air quality and weather‑related parameters for Thakhek.
