Show/hide stations:

A station-day average is shown only when that station reported at least 18 of 24 hours (75% completeness rule); gaps are left blank, never interpolated. Hourly view shows the raw published readings.
*The Canadian standard (CAAQS 2020) is assessed as the 3-year average of each year’s 98th-percentile daily value — individual days above the line do not, on their own, mean the standard was exceeded.
