Sitting on the shore of Lake Ohrid, Pogradec sees summer tourist traffic and vehicle traffic along the lakeshore as the dominant local influence on air quality, while the surrounding Korçë terrain affects how pollutants disperse. Calm, still conditions tend to let levels build here more than in breezier weather, and the local topography around Pogradec can trap emissions for longer stretches during stable atmospheric periods.

When is air pollution at its worst in Pogradec?
In Pogradec, reduced air quality is most noticeable when plane and pine pollen is at its peak, and on days affected by summer tourist traffic and vehicle traffic along the lakeshore; conditions tend to settle down again once weather patterns shift and the local Korçë terrain ventilates more freely, usually bringing several weeks of steadier readings.
Are air quality levels in Pogradec 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.
