Right now in Novorossiysk, PM2.5 averages 11.8 µg/m³ — “moderate” on the US EPA scale (approximate, from hourly readings). Mean of 10 sensors on the Atmy network, readings from 20:55–20:57 local time (17:55–17:57 UTC), summary prepared at 21:00 local time. Median: 4.4 µg/m³; range across sensors: 1.0–83.1 µg/m³.

In Novorossiysk the air is moderate right now (approximate, US EPA scale). From 08:00 to 21:00 local time the city mean PM2.5 rose from 5.2 to 11.8 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 (90%) possibly makes optical sensors read somewhat higher.

Weather now: partly cloudy, 18°C, wind 1 m/s, humidity 90%. No major change in the wind is expected in the coming hours. By 08:00 the temperature will be about 15°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.
