Worst air pollution Bakers Creek, today and tomorrow

On 25 August 2026, overall air quality in Bakers Creek is good. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 19.0/100. Pollution peaks around 1:00 PM (O3: 19.0/100).

On 26 August 2026, air quality conditions in Bakers Creek will be worse than today, with AQI forecast at fair at 25.2/100. Pollution peaks around 11:00 PM (NO2: 25.2/100).

Winter months routinely bring the sharpest rise in particulate matter to this area, when winter inversions trap local heating smoke in place for days at a time. Summer shifts the concern toward bushfire smoke here too, as hot, dry summers raise both bushfire risk and the ozone formed from strong sunlight. Milder spring and autumn weather, paired with more reliable wind, usually gives the clearest air of the year.

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.
