Uganda air quality today The AQI right now, city by city

Right now the 19 cities Airleaf measures in Uganda average AQI 88 (moderate). The worst air is in Mukono, at AQI 81, and the cleanest in Kajansi, at AQI 81. At ground stations alone, which measure rather than estimate, the average is AQI 81 across 5 cities. 26% of the 19 measured cities are over AQI 100 today, where the air stops being fine for sensitive groups, and 5% have Good air.

Mukono, at AQI 81 (Moderate) on the US EPA index. Unusually sensitive people should consider limiting long outdoor exertion.

Kajansi, at AQI 81 (Moderate). Both lists rank current readings, from ground stations wherever Uganda has at least three cities with one.

It depends on the city. 1 city is Good, 13 cities are Moderate, 5 cities are Unhealthy for sensitive groups. At the national average of AQI 88: Unusually sensitive people should consider limiting long outdoor exertion.

About 1.23 million ha from 2001 to 2025, 16% of the forest it had in 2000, from the University of Maryland's yearly satellite maps of forest loss. 1.04 million ha of it was cleared for good, for farms, mines or towns.

Mityana, with 72.6% tree cover within 2 km of its center, measured from Sentinel-2 satellite images.

Each city's reading is the US EPA air quality index, from ground monitoring stations where one has reported recently nearby, and from the CAMS atmospheric model elsewhere; each city's report says which. Tree cover is measured over the same 2 km radius in every city, so the cities compare like for like.
