In Ratingen the air is moderate right now (approximate, US EPA scale). From 10:00 to 23:00 local time the city mean PM2.5 rose from 14.3 to 25.4 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: cloudy, 5°C, wind 1 m/s, humidity 96%. No major change in the wind is expected in the coming hours.
