Air quality is fair. Outdoor activities are fine for most people.
European Air Quality Index
Malta-wide status follows the worst reporting station.
We do not average across stations. A single poor location is not cancelled out by good ones, so the summary reports the worst station that is currently reporting.
Pollutant: All pollutants
Each band also has its own texture, so the bands can be told apart without colour.
Each air-quality band is shown with a colour, a texture, an icon and a written label, so colour is never the only cue.

Outdoor activity remains fine for the general population.
A small number of unusually sensitive people may notice mild symptoms during long outdoor exertion.
Advice here is general and precautionary. Air quality is one factor among many, and staying active remains beneficial.
If you have severe or sudden symptoms, seek medical help rather than relying on this page.

Conditions across the Maltese Islands that may be influencing air quality. Context explains a reading; it never adjusts one, and it does not establish the cause of any individual measurement.
Wind speeds are forecast to fall to about 3.2 km/h for around 9 hours. Light winds may allow locally emitted pollutants — traffic nitrogen dioxide and fine particles in particular — to accumulate near the ground instead of dispersing.
May worsen air quality
Most relevant to: NO₂, PM2.5, PM10

Light winds may limit dispersion
Winds are forecast to average about 8 km/h. Light winds may allow locally emitted pollutants to linger rather than disperse, particularly overnight and near busy roads.
