Worst air pollution Cecil Hills, today and tomorrow

On 30 August 2026, overall air quality in Cecil Hills is moderate. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 43.7/100. Pollution peaks around 11:00 PM (NO2: 43.7/100).

On 31 August 2026, air quality conditions in Cecil Hills will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at moderate at 44.8/100. Pollution peaks around 4:00 AM (PM1: 44.8/100).

Winter months routinely bring the sharpest rise in particulate matter to this area, as cold, still air holds wood smoke and heating emissions close to the ground through winter. By summer, periodic bushfire smoke becomes the more pressing issue in this area, since summer heat and dry vegetation nearby are usually enough on their own to raise bushfire risk.

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.
