On 4 August 2026, overall air quality in New South Wales Golf Club – Championship Course is good. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 17.1/100. Pollution peaks around 3:00 PM (O3: 17.1/100).

On 5 August 2026, air quality conditions in New South Wales Golf Club – Championship Course will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at good at 16.1/100. Pollution peaks around 2:00 PM (O3: 16.1/100).

Worst conditions are rare here since sea breezes dominate; the only notable exception is on rare still, hot westerly days when smoke can drift from inland bushfires, or during periods of shipping and airport-related haze over Botany Bay on windless mornings.

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.
