Short summary
With an advanced causality analysis method CCM, we quantified the influence of individual meteorological factors on PM2.5 concentrations and revealed notable spatial and temporal variations of meteorological influences on PM2.5 concentrations across China. Temperature, humidity and wind exert the strongest influences on PM2.5 concentrations in most cities across China. Given the notable spatial variations, meteorological means for reducing PM2.5 concentrations should be designed accordingly.
