Worst air pollution Hartley, today and tomorrow
Today (30 August): Air quality in Hartley is moderate. AQI, NO2, and SO2 are moderate; O3 and PM1 are fair; PM2.5, PM10, CO, and HCHO are good. Pollution peaks around 4:00 PM (SO2: 45.1/100).
Tomorrow (31 August 2026): Air quality in Hartley is very poor. AQI worsens to very poor; PM2.5 increases to moderate; SO2 increases to very poor; PM1 increases to moderate; all other pollutants stay as today. Pollution peaks around 10:00 AM (SO2: 84.5/100). Airmine updates local air quality forecasts four times daily.

In Hartley, with less congestion here, dust from surrounding fields and occasional burning plays a bigger role than traffic. Vegetation nearby provides a modest natural filter for airborne particulates. Wind patterns on any given day can shift this picture meaningfully in either direction. Short-term spikes can occur with unusual weather or nearby construction and traffic events.

Is air quality bad in Hartley right now?
On 30 August 2026, overall air quality in Hartley is moderate. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 45.1/100. Pollution peaks around 4:00 PM (SO2: 45.1/100).
Will air quality be worse tomorrow in Hartley?
On 31 August 2026, air quality conditions in Hartley will be worse than today, with AQI forecast at very poor at 84.5/100. Pollution peaks around 10:00 AM (SO2: 84.5/100).
When is air pollution at its worst in Hartley?
The depths of winter usually mark the low point for local air quality, when wood heater use and gas heating rise just as calm, cold air traps the smoke locally. By summer, periodic bushfire smoke becomes the more pressing issue in this area, with bushfire smoke capable of pushing particulate readings well above the ozone increase from heat and sun alone.
Are air quality levels in Hartley 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.
Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?
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.
