The map shows urban air quality in terms of micrograms of particulate matter per cubic meter of air. For the purposes of this description, the five categories on the map are simplified to less 80 micrograms per cubic meter; between 80 and 200 micrograms per cubic meter; and more than 200 micrograms per cubic meter. In North America, there are several areas with multiple locations where air quality is less than 80 micrograms: in Canada, near Vancouver, British Columbia; in Alberta; and in southern Ontario and Quebec near the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River. In the United States, areas with air pollution in this range occur in mainly in California and in the Midwest and Northeast. A few scattered locations in Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean (Jamaica) also have pollution in this range. In South America, air quality less than 80 micrograms per cubic meter occurs in widely scattered locations, such as Caracas, Venezuela; Colombia; Ecuador; Bolivia; northern and central Chile; Buenos Aires, Argentina; and north of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Most of Western and Central Europe have air pollution of less than 80 micrograms per cubic meter. Exceptions include Ireland, Portugal, and Scandinavia. (In Russia, air pollution is at this level in Moscow, but east of the Urals in Siberia, there are also sites that are more polluted—between 80 and 200 micrograms. Africa has relatively little air pollution of this type, areas less than 80 micrograms include Liberia, Tanzania, Madagascar, and South Africa (the area around Johannesburg). In Southwest Asia, Turkey, Lebanon, Israel, and Cyprus have multiple sites less than 80 micrograms per cubic meter. However, Iran and the Persian Gulf states (Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates) have multiple sites between 80 and 200 micrograms, and Iraq and Bahrain have sites that are higher than 200 micrograms. Apart from Kabul, Afghanistan, which is higher than 200 micrograms per cubic meter, there are no countries in Central Asia that have poor urban air quality according to the criteria used here. In northern Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh, there are cities with poor urban air quality—ranging from 80 to more than 200 micrograms per cubic meter. In southern India, Sri Lanka, and Nepal, pollution levels range from below 80 up to 200 micrograms per cubic meter. In Southeast Asia, pollution in Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Indonesia is generally less than 80 micrograms, except in the northern Philippines, where it is between 80 and 200. In the cities of southern and western China, pollution is less than 80 micrograms per cubic meter, except in far western Urumqi, which is between 80 and 200 micrograms. In eastern and northern China urban air pollution increases to between 80 and 200 micrograms. Mongolia has a few locations less than 80 micrograms per cubic meter and others between 80 and 200 micrograms. South Korea has numerous cities with pollution less than 80, whereas in Japan, Tokyo is the only city in this category. In Oceania, only New Zealand is identified as having poor urban air quality, with two locations on the South Island less than 80 micrograms per cubic meter.

Ambient (outdoor) air pollution levels represented by annual mean concentration of particulate matter smaller than 10 (PM₁₀), for cities of the world with more than 100,000 inhabitants

A map shows the global temperature map for July ranges across continents and oceans from less than negative 48 degrees Celsius to over 30 degrees Celsius.

The global mean temperature for July; calculated by averaging daily temperatures (the mean of high and low temperatures) dating from 1880 to the present for a regularly spaced array of continental, oceanic, and Antarctic meteorological stations covering the globe

Global Mean Temperature, July

The map shows the various colors for different temperatures. The darkest shade of purple shows regions with more than negative 48 degrees Celsius and the darkest shade of brown shows temperatures of over 30 degrees Celsius. In the southern hemisphere to mid-latitudes, the mean temperature ranged from negative forty-eight degrees Celsius to zero degrees Celsius. Temperatures below negative forty-eight degrees Celsius were observed in the extreme south of Antarctica. In parts of Antarctica and Greenland, temperatures ranged from negative eighteen to negative twenty-three degrees Celsius. In Greenland, the mean temperature ranged from negative six degrees Celsius to negative eleven degrees Celsius.In the North Pacific Ocean, northern South America, much of Central America, most parts of the United States, parts of central Africa, the Indian Ocean (including Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Papua New Guinea), and northern Asia, the mean temperature ranged from twenty-four to twenty-six degrees Celsius. Northern Africa and some parts of the Middle East countries experienced mean temperatures over thirty degrees Celsius.Regions including India, west of Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Guam, and parts of northwest Asia had mean temperatures ranging from twenty-seven to twenty-nine degrees Celsius. In most parts of the Indian Ocean, South Atlantic Ocean, and South Pacific Ocean, the mean temperature ranged between zero to eleven degrees Celsius.In Australia and New Zealand, mean temperatures ranged from nine to eleven degrees Celsius. In the northern hemisphere, temperatures ranged between zero to two degrees Celsius. In much of Europe and Canada, temperatures ranged from twelve to fourteen degrees Celsius. In the southern region of South America, temperatures ranged from three to eleven degrees Celsius, while in the southern part of Africa, the mean temperature ranged between fifteen to seventeen degrees Celsius.
