In Yinchuan 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 65.2 to 67.3 µg/m³. The highest hour was 22:00 with 82.3 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 (-1°C) possibly means more heating, a common source of particles.

Weather now: clear, -1°C, wind 1 m/s, humidity 83%. No major change in the wind is expected in the coming hours. By 17:00 the temperature will be about 12°C.
