On 5 August 2026, overall air quality in Peninsula Kingswood Country Golf Club – North Course is good. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 15.8/100. Pollution peaks around 11:00 PM (NO2: 15.8/100).

On 6 August 2026, air quality conditions in Peninsula Kingswood Country Golf Club – North Course will be worse than today, with AQI forecast at fair at 22.9/100. Pollution peaks around 8:00 PM (NO2: 22.9/100).

The North Course's air quality is most affected in spring, when grass pollen levels rise across the peninsula's turf and grazing land, and during rare summer fire events when smoke can drift across from Gippsland or peninsula bushland. Consistent bay breezes otherwise keep this course well-ventilated and comfortable for most of the year.

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.
