Worst air pollution Glenelg Golf Club – Championship Course - Adelaide, today and tomorrow

On 4 August 2026, overall air quality in Glenelg Golf Club – Championship Course is good. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 16.7/100. Pollution peaks around 2:30 PM (O3: 16.7/100).

On 5 August 2026, air quality conditions in Glenelg Golf Club – Championship Course will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at good at 13.2/100. Pollution peaks around 2:30 PM (O3: 13.2/100).

Air quality around Glenelg is usually at its best when onshore winds are blowing steadily off the gulf, and at its worst during summer smoke events when bushfires elsewhere in South Australia send haze drifting across the city. Visitors playing over December to March should factor in the possibility of smoky conditions on still, hot days, even though the coastal breeze often helps clear it faster here than in inland suburbs.

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.

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.
