Worst air pollution Hahndorf - Adelaide, today and tomorrow

On 4 August 2026, overall air quality in Hahndorf is good. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 18.8/100. Pollution peaks around 9:30 PM (PM1: 18.8/100).

On 5 August 2026, air quality conditions in Hahndorf will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at good at 14.3/100. Pollution peaks around 12:30 AM (PM1: 14.3/100).

Nestled in the Adelaide Hills, Hahndorf sits close to bushland that can generate significant smoke during summer, from December to March, particularly in hot, dry, windy conditions that raise fire risk. Being elevated and forested, the town can also experience localised haze on still days. Outside summer, expect clean, fresh hills air.

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.
