Mean of 10 sensors from Government stations, readings from 05:00–05:00 local time (21:00–21:00 UTC), summary prepared at 06:00 local time. Median: 33.0 µg/m³; range across sensors: 25.0–38.0 µg/m³.

In Dalian the air is moderate 🟡 AQI 95. About the same as three hours ago. ☀️ +3 °C · No precipitation · Wind 2 m/s

In Dalian the air is moderate right now (approximate, US EPA scale). From 17:00 to 06:00 local time the city mean PM2.5 fell from 59.0 to 32.6 µg/m³.

Light wind (2 m/s) in the evening or at night, as the air cools, possibly traps particles near the ground (a temperature inversion). Cold weather (3°C) possibly means more heating, a common source of particles.

Weather now: clear, 3°C, wind 2 m/s, humidity 91%. By 10:00 the wind is expected to pick up to 4 m/s, which may clear the air. By 17:00 the temperature will be about 9°C.
