In Cottbus the air is moderate right now (approximate, US EPA scale). From 10:00 to 23:00 local time the city mean PM2.5 stayed roughly level: from 15.3 to 14.5 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 (5°C) possibly means more heating, a common source of particles.

Weather now: rain, 5°C, wind 1 m/s, humidity 97%. Precipitation is expected around 23:00; it may wash particles out.
