Air quality today

The air quality in Wigan today is classified as Good. The main pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles). Measurements show a PM2.5 reference value of 6.33 µg/m³ and a PM10 reference value of 14.0 µg/m³, based on nine valid observations.

Data are shown via OpenAQ. This page is informational; for health guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.

What the data includes

The OpenAQ feed for Wigan currently provides data from two monitoring sites across nine recorded rows. All eight measured pollutants are represented: nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), particulate matter of three size fractions (PM1, PM2.5 and PM10), relative humidity, temperature, and particle count (UM003). The most recent observations were all captured on 2026‑02‑10, with timestamps ranging from 20:00 to 21:00 UTC, so the dataset is fresh within the last few hours for every pollutant.

Across the nine rows the values show a narrow spread. For PM2.5 the minimum, median and maximum are 6.33 µg/m³, while the 10th‑percentile sits at 6.80 µg/m³ and the 90th‑percentile at 10.53 µg/m³, indicating modest variability around a central value of about 8.7 µg/m³. NO₂, O₃ and PM10 each have a single recorded figure – 23 µg/m³ for NO₂, 16 µg/m³ for O₃ and 14 µg/m³ for PM10 – all measured at the Wigan Centre site. PM1 is consistently low at roughly 2.66 µg/m³ from Golborne Dale Cottage. The meteorological variables are also single‑point readings: relative humidity stays at 65.0 %, temperature at 11.9 °C, and particle concentration (UM003) at 381.6 particles/cm³, each recorded at the same Golborne Dale location.

Because only two stations contribute data, spatial coverage is limited; conditions can differ across neighbourhoods that are not directly monitored. Nevertheless, the dataset is up‑to‑date, with every pollutant having a last‑updated time on 2026‑02‑10 between 20:00 and 21:00 UTC, and the number of rows (nine) shows modest but recent sampling for this city.

Data notes

The data shown for Wigan are based on nine valid measurements and were refreshed recently, with the latest update recorded at 2026‑02‑10T21:00:00+00:00 (updated within three days). This snapshot reflects conditions at the time of sampling; air quality can vary across different locations and times within the city, so values may not represent every neighbourhood or moment.
