To check the Air Quality Index (AQI) for your area using Google Maps, follow these steps:
- Open Google Maps:
- On your phone or computer, open the Google Maps app or website.
- Search for your location:
- Enter the name of your city, neighborhood, or a specific address in the search bar.
- Look for the AQI indicator:
- In certain areas, Google Maps will display air quality information directly on the map, usually as a colored circle or AQI number.
- The AQI value may be shown in the “Layers” menu, often near other map layers (like traffic or transit).
- Use Google Search for AQI details:
- If AQI info isn’t readily available in Google Maps, you can simply search for “AQI in [Your Location]” or “Air Quality in [Your City]” in the Google search bar.
- Google will provide real-time AQI data from trusted sources like government agencies or weather services.
- Alternatively, use the Google Weather App:
- On Android or iOS, Google’s Weather app (accessible through Google Assistant or the Google app) also shows air quality in your area.
Google Maps itself doesn’t always display detailed AQI for all locations, but these steps will help you get an accurate picture of the air quality in your region.
