In Gimpo the air is unhealthy for sensitive groups right now (approximate, US EPA scale). From 18:00 to 07:00 local time the city mean PM2.5 rose from 29.4 to 37.0 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). High humidity (99%) possibly makes optical sensors read somewhat higher.

Weather now: cloudy, 6°C, wind 2 m/s, humidity 99%. By 14:00 the wind is expected to pick up to 4 m/s, which may clear the air. By 18:00 the temperature will be about 12°C.

Written automatically at 07:00 local time (22:00 UTC) from sensor measurements and the weather forecast. Values are approximate; hypotheses are marked.
