Mean of 30 sensors from Government stations, readings from 06:00–06:00 local time (21:00–21:00 UTC), summary prepared at 07:00 local time. Median: 22.0 µg/m³; range across sensors: 11.0–56.0 µg/m³.
In Busan the air is moderate 🟡 AQI 76. Higher than three hours ago. ⛅ +9 °C · No precipitation · Wind 2 m/s
In Busan the air is moderate right now (approximate, US EPA scale). From 18:00 to 07:00 local time the city mean PM2.5 rose from 17.0 to 22.6 µg/m³.
Light wind (2 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, 9°C, wind 2 m/s, humidity 80%. No major change in the wind is expected in the coming hours. By 18:00 the temperature will be about 15°C.
Written automatically at 07:00 local time (22:00 UTC) from sensor measurements and the weather forecast. Values are approximate; hypotheses are marked.

Daily mean PM2.5 on November 10, 2026 (00:00–24:00 UTC = 09:00–09:00 UTC+9): 12 µg/m³ from 31 sensors that passed the quality check — the same value as in the Atmy Data Hub. No. 31 of 39 cities in South Korea and No. 493 of 676 worldwide, from the most polluted.
Right now in Busan, PM2.5 averages 22.6 µg/m³ — “moderate” on the US EPA scale (approximate, from hourly readings). Mean of 30 sensors from Government stations, readings from 06:00–06:00 local time (21:00–21:00 UTC), summary prepared at 07:00 local time. Median: 22.0 µg/m³; range across sensors: 11.0–56.0 µg/m³.
The current level is “moderate” (US EPA scale, approximate). Unusually sensitive people should consider reducing prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors. This is the standard guidance of the scale, not medical advice.
Highest current reading: 56.0 µg/m³ (장림동 (한국환경공단 에어코리아 (AirKorea))). Lowest: 11.0 µg/m³ (청룡동 (한국환경공단 에어코리아 (AirKorea))). The list shows every sensor, highest first.
From Atmy sensors and connected public networks (citizen, experimental and government monitors), aggregated by Atmy. Values are approximate; see the methodology.
The summary is rebuilt every 15 minutes from the latest reading of each sensor, each no older than one hour.
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.
