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, 21°C, wind 1 m/s, humidity 77%. By 08:00 the wind is expected to pick up to 4 m/s, which may clear the air. By 08:00 the temperature will be about 17°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.
