Known for its Logans Beach whale nursery, this coastal dairy city enjoys generally clean air thanks to strong, near-constant Southern Ocean winds, with the main local sources being dairy processing odour and agricultural dust from the extensive pasture land surrounding the city. Southern Ocean winds provide near-constant natural ventilation for most of the year, keeping background air quality high, though winter can bring occasional wood-heater smoke on the rarer still, calm nights. Dairy processing and agricultural odour remain the most consistent, if minor, local air quality factors given the surrounding pasture-dominated landscape.

When is air pollution at its worst in Warrnambool?

Air quality is almost always good here thanks to persistent coastal winds; the rare exceptions are still, calm days when dairy-processing odours or agricultural dust from surrounding paddocks can be more noticeable, or occasional bushfire smoke drifting from inland Victoria during summer.

Are air quality levels in Warrnambool 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.

Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?

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.
