Worst air pollution Tuncurry Golf Course - Tuncurry, today and tomorrow

On 25 August 2026, overall air quality in Tuncurry Golf Course is good. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 13.9/100. Pollution peaks around 1:00 PM (O3: 13.9/100).

On 26 August 2026, air quality conditions in Tuncurry Golf Course will be worse than today, with AQI forecast at fair at 21.1/100. Pollution peaks around 3:00 PM (O3: 21.1/100).

Winter months routinely bring the sharpest rise in particulate matter to this area, when winter inversions trap local heating smoke in place for days at a time. Summer heat and dry surrounding vegetation push bushfire smoke to the forefront of local air quality concerns, since summer heat and dry vegetation nearby are usually enough on their own to raise bushfire risk.

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.
