Punjab, Pakistan. Measured by low-cost sensors, too few to rank; the model estimate below is the cross-check.
24-hour average, not ranked130US AQI
1–2 sensors, not rankedUnhealthy for sensitive groups
PM2.5 47.1 µg/m³, 3.1× the WHO 24-hour guideline, from the one low-cost sensor in Zafarwal. One cheap unit can read well off, so Zafarwal isn't ranked.
7-day average: 152 US AQI (56.5 µg/m³)
Latest hour: 152 US AQI (57.6 µg/m³), local time
The model's estimate for the same 7 days is about 33 µg/m³: the sensor reads 1.7× that.
Measured, but by one low-cost sensor and no other monitor. It passes the same checks as every sensor we count (stuck, frozen, spikes, far from the model), yet one unit can still be off. A third sensor here would rank Zafarwal. How sure each figure is
Hour by hour
Hourly values over the last 4 days, local time. Dashed line: WHO 24-hour guideline (15 µg/m³).
Last 30 days
One cell a day, coloured by its band: 5 of 30 days had 18 hours or more of readings. Grey: not enough.
The model's estimate
7-day average, estimated≈ 33µg/m³
Estimate, not measuredLikely moderate to unhealthy for sensitive groups
Likely between 22 and 50 µg/m³ (75–137 US AQI): the model's 7-day average to 12 Oct 2026, about 2.2× the WHO 24-hour guideline.
30-day average, estimated: ≈ 39 µg/m³
Model estimate from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS), scaled by 0.60 to match 10 cities within 300 km measured by reference monitors over the last week. Adjusted this way, a single day lands within ×1.5 of what a monitor would read about two times in three: a guide, not a measurement. Not ranked on SmogRank's boards.
