Quebec Hourly Air Quality Index Readings

Quebec's real-time hourly Air Quality Index (AQI) data from the provincial monitoring network, excluding stations on Montreal Island. The dataset provides the last available hour of results as an information and awareness tool for ambient air quality.

Use Cases

• Analyze real-time AQI trends across Quebec's monitoring network stations.
• Model air quality patterns using hourly AQI readings from provincial stations.
• Correlate ambient air quality events with geographic station locations.

Strengths

• Data is updated in real-time with the last hour's results available.
• Sourced from the authoritative Quebec Air Quality Monitoring Network.
• Excludes data from Montreal Island, providing a focused provincial scope.

Limitations

• Specific data volume, row count, and column structure are unknown.
• Exclusion of Montreal Island stations limits analysis for that major urban area.
• Data format (ESRI REST, HTML) may require specialized tools for processing.
