Beijing, November 10, 2026: daily mean PM2.5 26 µg/m³ (24 sensors), level “Moderate” — as in the Atmy Data Hub. Now (06:00 local time): 64.5 µg/m³. Open methodology and data in JSON: Methodology and data sources · JSON
Right now in Beijing, PM2.5 averages 64.5 µg/m³ — “unhealthy” on the US EPA scale (approximate, from hourly readings). Mean of 24 sensors from Government stations, AirGradient, readings from 05:00–05:47 local time (21:00–21:47 UTC), summary prepared at 06:00 local time. Median: 65.6 µg/m³; range across sensors: 27.0–95.0 µg/m³.
In Beijing the air is unhealthy 🔴 AQI 157. About the same as three hours ago. ☀️ +2 °C · No precipitation · Wind 1 m/s
In Beijing the air is unhealthy right now (approximate, US EPA scale). From 17:00 to 06:00 local time the city mean PM2.5 stayed roughly level: from 62.2 to 64.5 µg/m³. The highest hour was 20:00 with 78.0 µg/m³.
Light wind (1 m/s) in the evening or at night, as the air cools, possibly traps particles near the ground (a temperature inversion). Cold weather (2°C) possibly means more heating, a common source of particles.
Weather now: clear, 2°C, wind 1 m/s, humidity 95%. No major change in the wind is expected in the coming hours. By 17:00 the temperature will be about 10°C.

Daily mean PM2.5 on November 10, 2026 (00:00–24:00 UTC = 08:00–08:00 UTC+8): 26 µg/m³ from 24 sensors that passed the quality check — the same value as in the Atmy Data Hub.
Right now in Beijing, PM2.5 averages 64.5 µg/m³ — “unhealthy” on the US EPA scale (approximate, from hourly readings). Mean of 24 sensors from Government stations, AirGradient, readings from 05:00–05:47 local time (21:00–21:47 UTC), summary prepared at 06:00 local time. Median: 65.6 µg/m³; range across sensors: 27.0–95.0 µg/m³.
The current level is “unhealthy” (US EPA scale, approximate). Everyone should reduce prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors; sensitive groups should avoid it. This is the standard guidance of the scale, not medical advice.
Highest current reading: 95.0 µg/m³ (通州新华 (中国环境监测总站 (CNEMC) — 国家城市环境空气质量监测网)). Lowest: 27.0 µg/m³ (丰台云岗 (中国环境监测总站 (CNEMC) — 国家城市环境空气质量监测网)). The list shows every sensor, highest first.
From Atmy sensors and connected public networks (citizen, experimental and government monitors), aggregated by Atmy. Values are approximate; see the methodology.
The summary is rebuilt every 15 minutes from the latest reading of each sensor, each no older than one hour.
The daily value is the Data Hub’s: the mean of the city’s sensors that passed the nightly quality check, each with at least 12 valid hours, and only with sensors at four places 500 m apart; days are UTC.
“Now” uses the same sensors and rule: the mean of their latest readings, each at most 60 minutes old, shown only with sensors at four places 500 m apart reporting.
