Worst air pollution New Farm Park - Brisbane, today and tomorrow

On 4 August 2026, overall air quality in New Farm Park is good. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 19.8/100. Pollution peaks around 10:00 AM (NO2: 19.8/100).

On 5 August 2026, air quality conditions in New Farm Park will be worse than today, with AQI forecast at fair at 28.4/100. Pollution peaks around 6:00 AM (NO2: 28.4/100).

The main times to expect reduced air quality at New Farm Park are during citywide bushfire smoke episodes in the drier season, and during busy event periods when this popular riverside park draws large crowds and associated traffic. Otherwise, the park's open riverside setting and mature tree canopy generally provide some of the more pleasant air in Brisbane's inner 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.
