The findings

What today's report says

Against yesterday: the one-day move

From 70 to 85. The 95 per cent interval runs 10.5 to 21 points, on 41 matched stations.

Against last year: the observed reading

Today 85 against 95 on the same date last year, matched stations. The interval runs -13.4 to 2.3 points, so the honest reading is level, not better.

The weather-corrected verdict

Observed, the year reads -6 points, level. Corrected for weather it reads +11.9. 5 of 6 pollutants show no real improvement.

The worst station in the city today

Moderate, on PM10. Last year this station read 122 on the same date; the change is 43.5 points.

A caution we publish daily

Gas readings carry documented unit-inconsistency at absolute levels (peer-reviewed international research, 2025); but this CO year-on-year uses the same stations + units as last year, so the DIRECTION of the rise is reliable. Today leads on PM2.5/PM10; gas is context only.
