Mildura's air quality reflects its position as an inland agricultural centre in a dry, semi-arid climate. Dust from farmland, particularly during cultivation, harvest or windy dry spells, is a recurring factor, as is smoke from occasional agricultural burning and regional bushfires in surrounding mallee country. Humidity is generally low and summers are hot and dry, which can allow dust to linger on calm days. Away from these agricultural influences, background air quality is typically good, supported by the region's low population density.

When is air pollution at its worst in Mildura?
Expect the poorest air quality around Mildura during hot, windy spells in late spring and summer, when dry cultivated paddocks and mallee scrub are most prone to dust lift-off, and during any nearby bushfire smoke events. Harvest-time dust from surrounding orchards and cropping land can also add to the mix. Outside these periods, conditions are usually clear, so it's the dry, blustery stretches of the warmer months that residents should plan around.
Are air quality levels in Mildura 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.
