AirQuality.am tracks air quality in Gyumri using data from 7 active monitoring stations. Check the current AQI and PM2.5, station locations and historical air pollution trends.
Gyumri lies on the Shirak Plateau in northwestern Armenia at an elevation of about 1,500 metres. The open plain is surrounded by mountain ranges and is known for its long, cold winter.
The historic Kumayri district, Vardanants Square and the Black Fortress are the city's main landmarks. Gyumri combines a dense stone-built centre, extensive private housing, Soviet-era apartment districts and former industrial areas; household heating becomes particularly important in winter.
In Gyumri, the most pronounced period of elevated pollution runs from November through March and coincides with the heating season. In spring and summer, wind and stronger air mixing usually clear the air more quickly, although dry dust can cause isolated deterioration.
Gyumri has a sharply continental climate with freezing, snowy winters and moderately warm, relatively dry summers. The open plateau is often windy, but during calm and very cold winter weather pollution can remain in the near-surface layer.
