PM2.5 Forecast for Beijing - Wednesday, July 31, 2013

Wednesday looks like it should be a typical summer day for air quality in Beijing.  We should hover in the Unhealthy range after midnight and at least until late morning.  By late morning, we could see the pollution start to clear, and we could drop into Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups and Moderate by early afternoon.  From there, pollution levels should remain relatively stable through the rest of the day. 

PM2.5 Forecast for Beijing - Tuesday, July 30, 2013

Tuesday's air quality should fit the profile for a typical summer day in Beijing.  Rising PM2.5 levels in the early morning should see us into Unhealthy or Very Unhealthy conditions through mid-morning when we could see PM2.5 begin to drop.  The pollution clear somewhat through the afternoon, and tomorrow's weather conditions look to be very conducive to a good clearing.  We should make it back down to Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups by late afternoon, and there is a real chance of seeing Moderate air quality in that time frame as well. 

PM2.5 Forecast for Beijing - Monday, July 29, 2013

After a beautiful Sunday, Beijing's air quality should be back to normal on Monday.  We should spend the early morning with increasing PM2.5 levels, peaking around noon or just before.  We should be at least at Unhealthy by then, but we could reach into the lower range of Very Unhealthy if weather conditions are right.  From there we should see falling pollution levels that could drop us back into Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups by early evening before levels start rising again.
