Hourly Air Quality and Meteorological Data for Queensland, 2025

Annual hourly air quality and meteorological data by monitoring site for the 2025 calendar year, sourced from the Queensland Government. The dataset contains one-hour average values for air quality parameters and meteorological conditions, with automated daily instrument checks affecting readings between midnight and 1am. Data is provided by the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation department and was last updated in June 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling air pollution dispersion based on hourly wind speed and direction data.
• Analyzing daily and seasonal air quality trends based on one-hour average values.
• Correlating meteorological conditions with pollutant concentrations based on co-located measurements.
• Identifying data gaps due to instrument calibration based on the daily zero/span response check schedule.

Strengths

• Data resolution is specified as one-hour average values, providing fine temporal granularity.
• Data collection methodology is documented, including sampling height (four metres) and handling of calm wind conditions.
• License is clearly stated as CC-BY-4.0, facilitating open use.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au, focusing on Queensland, Australia.
