Worst air pollution Memory Cove Campsite - Lincoln National Park, today and tomorrow

On 17 September 2026, overall air quality in Memory Cove Campsite is moderate. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 40.6/100. Pollution peaks around 11:30 AM (PM2.5: 40.6/100).

On 18 September 2026, air quality conditions in Memory Cove Campsite will be better than today, with AQI forecast at fair at 27.3/100. Pollution peaks around 12:30 AM (PM2.5: 27.3/100).

The depths of winter usually mark the low point for local air quality, when winter inversions trap local heating smoke in place for days at a time. Summer shifts the concern toward bushfire smoke here too, as smoke drifting in from regional bushfires combines with the heat and sunlight that also drive ozone.

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.
