Worst air pollution Bellerive - Hobart, today and tomorrow

On 4 August 2026, overall air quality in Bellerive is good. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 14.2/100. Pollution peaks around 1:00 PM (O3: 14.2/100).

On 5 August 2026, air quality conditions in Bellerive will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at good at 15.6/100. Pollution peaks around 3:00 PM (O3: 15.6/100).

Being on the eastern shore with more direct exposure to Hobart's prevailing westerlies, Bellerive generally sees somewhat better winter air quality than low-lying suburbs across the river. Still, cold, calm winter nights can allow wood-smoke to build up locally. Outside these still spells, expect consistently clean, breeze-swept air typical of the region.

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.
