Worst air pollution Jimmy Newells Harbour Lookout - Torndirrup, today and tomorrow

On 21 September 2026, overall air quality in Jimmy Newells Harbour Lookout is moderate. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 42.8/100. Pollution peaks around 5:00 PM (PM2.5: 42.8/100).

On 22 September 2026, air quality conditions in Jimmy Newells Harbour Lookout will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at moderate at 41.9/100. Pollution peaks around 4:00 PM (PM2.5: 41.9/100).

Winter tends to bring the year's worst particulate spikes here, as cold, still air holds wood smoke and heating emissions close to the ground through winter. The warmer months shift the main air quality risk here toward bushfire smoke and ozone, with summer's heat and dry vegetation together producing both elevated ozone and, at times, bushfire smoke haze.

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.
