A great tool for finding out the air quality in your city, you can even search by city district.

Or you could just search Kunming 'cause that's the one that matters to us. I see it's less bad today:
aqicn.org/city/kunming/
I was looking at comparisons as I lived in Hebei til recently. Yesterday it was 218 there and 109 here!
The air has been very bad in Kunming lately. The mountains to the west are not even visible now.
Six years ago nobody would have thought even to check the air quality - it was always good.
Kunming is in the red today. I may need to stop breathing!
Today might be one of those days when you can tell your kids: "Go inside and get some fresh air!"
Today is ugly. Rains are gone and construction/trucks are back.
Factories are also probably running at full steam for the preparation of th ebig week. The air quality of Beijing looks to be in the green this week, but it used to be grey/yellow during that time.
Chinese people keep on telling me how good the air quality in Kunming is... but since October last year I have been looking on aqicn.org/city/kunming/ every couple of days. Since then pm 2.5 was mostly around 160. The WHO says it shouldnt be more than 25 over a long period of time. Apart from pm 2.5, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide is also way too high. So I really dont know why people say the air quality is so good... especially when you compare it to other Chinese cities.
