Worst air pollution Henty, today and tomorrow

On 25 August 2026, overall air quality in Henty is good. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 15.1/100. Pollution peaks around 1:00 AM (O3: 15.1/100).

On 26 August 2026, air quality conditions in Henty will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at good at 15.2/100. Pollution peaks around 3:00 PM (O3: 15.2/100).

The depths of winter usually mark the low point for local air quality, as reduced winter air movement lets heating emissions and wood smoke build up locally. Summer shifts the concern toward bushfire smoke here too, since bushfire smoke haze on affected days can outweigh the ozone increase heat alone would produce. Air quality generally improves in spring and autumn, when milder weather and steadier winds help disperse pollutants.

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.
