Air quality in Albany is typically excellent, aided by its exposed coastal position and consistent breezes off the Southern Ocean and King George Sound that ventilate the town year-round. There is little heavy industry, and the main seasonal factor is bushfire smoke from forest or heathland fires during the drier summer months, which can occasionally affect visibility. Cooler, wetter conditions than further north help keep dust and pollen levels comparatively low.

When is air pollution at its worst in Albany?
The main times to expect reduced air quality in Albany are during summer bushfire smoke events, when fires in surrounding forest or heathland send haze over the town, generally between December and March. Outside these episodes, the reliable Southern Ocean breeze keeps conditions clear most of the year, so residents mainly need to watch fire activity reports during the warmer, drier months rather than worrying about persistent pollution.
Are air quality levels in Albany 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.
