This morning in Bangkok, checks of PM 2.5 dust levels found them within standards across all monitored areas, with most locations showing good air quality.
7 Jan 2026 GMT+7 Bangkok Air Quality Information Center The report on particulate matter no larger than 2.5 microns (PM 2.5) from Bangkok's air quality monitoring stations at 07:00 shows a 24-hour average PM2.5 level between 15.7 and 36.5 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m³). All measured areas were within the standard limit of 37.5 µg/m³. The air quality index from Bangkok's monitoring stations mostly indicates good air quality.
The Meteorological Department's weather forecast for Bangkok predicts cold weather with strong winds and a temperature drop of 1-2 degrees Celsius.
Related factor (forecasted weather trends affecting PM 2.5 levels based on meteorological conditions) From 7 to 15 Jan 2026, ventilation is expected to be "weak" while the near-surface atmosphere is closed with strong winds on some days. Thus, PM 2.5 concentrations are expected to range from moderate to good. Today’s forecast predicts cold weather with strong winds and a temperature drop of 1-2 degrees Celsius.
Satellite hotspot data from NASA show no abnormal heat spots detected over Bangkok, indicating no unusual surface heat detected by satellites in the area.
The Bangkok Environment Office has coordinated with all relevant agencies to intensify efforts under the dust control action plan to mitigate the severity of PM 2.5 dust pollution and its potential health impacts. They invite public participation and all sectors to help by changing behaviors and reducing dust-generating activities to minimize health risks. The "5 Ways to Reduce Dust You Can Do" are: 1. Regularly clean the house by dusting; 2. Avoid burning waste and incense; 3. Plant trees to absorb pollution and trap dust; 4. Use public transportation; and 5. Turn off engines when parked and maintain vehicles to prevent excessive smoke emissions.
