Green from Ord River irrigation amid an otherwise dry Kimberley landscape, Kununurra sees generally clean tropical air moderated by nearby agricultural activity. Dry-season months, June through October, bring the region's main air quality driver: smoke from managed savanna burning and occasional wildfires across the surrounding bushland, sometimes combined with dust from cleared or fallow farmland. The wet season, November to April, shifts conditions toward high humidity and mould risk, along with cyclone potential. Short bursts of dust are common in the October to November build-up before rains arrive. Overall, trade winds and the irrigation belt help keep air quality moderate to good.

When is air pollution at its worst in Kununurra?
The period to watch in Kununurra is the dry season (roughly June to October), when savanna and grass fires across the north send smoke drifting into town on the prevailing trade winds. The wet (November-April) clears the smoke but brings humidity, downpours and occasional cyclones instead. Outside that window conditions are usually clear, so check forecasts if you have asthma or other sensitivities.
Are air quality levels in Kununurra 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.
