📚 About the data ▼

What is inside

  • Air quality: 60 monthly entries, Aug 2021 – Jul 2026. Two columns: an air-quality index value and “Days of blue skies”.
  • Weather: 30 daily entries, 3 Jul – 1 Aug 2026, with condition, min/max temperature and wind.
  • Nothing has been filled in or interpolated. Where the source states no value, the chart shows a gap.
  • AQI is monthly; weather is daily. They are compared only for Jul 2026.

Sources

  • Air quality: Kunshan_AirQuality_Data_202108_to_202607.xlsx (QWeather export, sheet “Sheet1”).
  • Weather: Kunshan Weather Network historical-record PDF — query range 1 Aug 2021 → 1 Aug 2026, but the supplied extract contains daily records for 3 Jul – 1 Aug 2026.
  • Wind force is Beaufort scale exactly as reported by the source.
  • Colours scale with the value inside this dataset (lower = cooler). No health categories are applied.
