Description

Unverified raw hourly air pollutant monitoring and meteorological data collected by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy. These data sets contain **air quality data from 2026 to the most recent hourly readings** and **meteorological data from 2025 to the most recent hourly readings** from air quality monitoring stations across B.C, up to the latest hour in Pacific Standard Time (PST). This does not include data originating from Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley Regional Districts. For current conditions for Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley Regional Districts please visit https://gis.metrovancouver.org/maps/air/ This data is not quality-assured. Historical quality-assured air data is available here: https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/77eeadf4-0c19-48bf-a47a-fa9eef01f409 Please subscribe using the following link if you want to receive the updates on the datasets: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/environment/air-land-water/air/air-quality/current-air-quality-data __Please click on VIEW resource to access__ __For data files directing to a FTP site, please copy the FTP link to File Explorer (anonymous login), Finder or equivalent, or use a FTP client such as FileZilla to access the FTP link.
