Over the past 24 hours, moist air masses moving into Uzbekistan from the Mediterranean region via the Caucasus brought rainfall across the country.

In Tashkent, approximately 10 mm of precipitation was recorded over the 24-hour period. The rainfall helped wash fine particulate matter (PM) out of the atmosphere, making a significant contribution to improving air quality.

With the arrival of these air masses, wind speeds also increased, reaching 2.5–3.8 m/s from the south-east and south. These conditions helped disperse fine particulate matter. The last time air quality at this level was recorded in the capital was on 1 November.

For reference: Inspection and monitoring activities aimed at improving air quality are ongoing. In particular, Eco-Police officers have stopped another environmental violation in Samarkand.
