    Welcome to 'Time IN Berlin' on this crisp Wednesday, November 6, 2024. As you step out into the city, you're greeted by a chilly 4°C temperature and a moderate wind speed of about 33 km/h. However, the air quality is a mixed bag; while the PM2.5 levels are currently within the 'good' range at 11 µg/m³, other pollutants like PM10 and NO2 are at levels that might be unhealthy for sensitive groups.

    Today, Berlin is buzzing with a variety of events to cater to all interests. If you're into policy and innovation, the 2024 National Air Quality Conference is taking place at Prospero House in London, but if you're in Berlin, you might want to follow the live updates and discussions online.
