In Guangzhou the air is moderate right now (approximate, US EPA scale). From 17:00 to 06:00 local time the city mean PM2.5 rose from 21.4 to 32.1 µg/m³. The highest hour was 23:00 with 37.7 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).

Weather now: partly cloudy, 16°C, wind 1 m/s, humidity 75%. No major change in the wind is expected in the coming hours. By 17:00 the temperature will be about 26°C.

Data

Where do these data come from?

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.
