Worst air pollution Inverleigh, today and tomorrow

On 25 August 2026, overall air quality in Inverleigh is good. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 17.6/100. Pollution peaks around 2:00 PM (O3: 17.6/100).

On 26 August 2026, air quality conditions in Inverleigh will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at good at 14.5/100. Pollution peaks around 12:00 PM (O3: 14.5/100).

Air quality often dips most sharply during winter in this area, as cold, still air holds wood smoke and heating emissions close to the ground through winter. Summer shifts the concern toward bushfire smoke here too, with summer's heat and dry vegetation together producing both elevated ozone and, at times, bushfire smoke haze. 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.
