Data from Open-Meteo • Updated 9:43:27 PM
Beijing has invested billions in improving air quality, and readings have improved substantially over the past decade. However, the city still experiences severe pollution episodes, especially in winter when heating demand rises and inversions trap emissions. Dust storms from the Gobi Desert add a seasonal PM10 challenge.
