In Leiden the air is moderate 🟡 AQI 100. Higher than three hours ago. ☁️ +4 °C · No precipitation · Wind 1 m/s

In Leiden 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 30.3 to 35.3 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 (4°C) possibly means more heating, a common source of particles.

Weather now: cloudy, 4°C, wind 1 m/s, humidity 82%. Precipitation is expected around 07:00; it may wash particles out. By 10:00 the temperature will be about 8°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.
