Every month since 2023

Each square is a month's mean PM2.5 in US AQI from Gunnedah's measured days, with its place on that month's world ranking under it. A month has a mean once 70% of its days are measured, the rule the monthly rankings use; under that, the square gives the days measured. Each square opens that month's ranking with Gunnedah marked; each year, the year's. A dashed square is the running month, so far.

Jan 202319 of 31 days measured; a month needs 22. The others: 1 with no readings from the monitor, 10 with readings for part of the day (a day needs 18 hours), 1 missing from OpenAQ's archive.

A day counts once 18 hours of it are measured; a month needs 70% of its days.
