Berat's air quality reflects its position in a gorge of the Osum river, with vehicle traffic funnelled through the narrow river gorge contributing the main local sources through the year. Weather patterns typical of Berat shape how quickly pollutants clear, with conditions generally improving whenever winds pick up or rain moves through, while calmer, high-pressure spells tend to let local emissions accumulate for longer than elsewhere in the region.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is air quality bad in Berat right now?

On 9 August 2026, overall air quality in Berat is fair. NO2 is the main pollutant at 27.8/100. Pollution peaks around 4:00 PM (O3: 47.7/100).

When is air pollution at its worst in Berat?

Watch for reduced air quality in Berat around plane and pine pollen peaks and during vehicle traffic funnelled through the narrow river gorge; conditions elsewhere in the Berat calendar are usually noticeably better, especially once the weather turns more active.

Are air quality levels in Berat based on measurements or forecasts?

It is forecasts derived by downscaling forecasts provided by EU’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) by taking into account local conditions such as traffic patterns. CAMS bases its forecast on satellite measurements of particles and chemical compounds in the atmosphere. Airmine’s services were developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team.

Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?

Airmine’s forecast uses CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) as its background atmospheric model. While CAMS includes wildfire emissions, these are derived from satellite observations and are not available in real time. During rapidly evolving wildfire events, there may therefore be a delay before increased emissions are incorporated into the model. As a result, the forecast may temporarily underestimate PM₂.₅ and other pollutants associated with wildfire smoke.

During rapidly evolving wildfire events, CAMS may lag by approximately 1–2 days before increased wildfire emissions are fully represented, which can lead to temporary underestimation of PM₂.₅ concentrations in Airmine’s forecast.
