In Craiova the air is unhealthy right now (approximate, US EPA scale). From 11:00 to 00:00 local time the city mean PM2.5 rose from 29.4 to 97.2 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). High humidity (98%) possibly makes optical sensors read somewhat higher.

Weather now: fog, 8°C, wind 1 m/s, humidity 98%. No major change in the wind is expected in the coming hours. By 11:00 the temperature will be about 12°C.
