Air quality in Toowoomba is generally good given its elevated, breeze-exposed position on the range, though winter temperature inversions can occasionally trap smoke and pollutants in the city on still, cold nights. Bushfire smoke from surrounding forested escarpment country is an additional seasonal concern in drier months, particularly late winter through spring. The surrounding agricultural plains below the range can also contribute dust that occasionally drifts up toward the city.
