There are not enough fresh measurements for Fort Portal right now. From 12:00 to 21:00 local time the city mean PM2.5 rose from 17.0 to 50.8 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).

Weather now: cloudy, 18°C, wind 1 m/s, humidity 74%. By 12:00 the wind is expected to pick up to 4 m/s, which may clear the air. Precipitation is expected around 12:00; it may wash particles out. By 12:00 the temperature will be about 22°C.
