Local Environmental Conditions
This location in West Wyalong combines built-up streets with more open land, so local traffic matters, though emissions are less concentrated than in a city center. Parks and street trees provide a modest buffer against traffic pollution. Pollution carried in from the wider region can also raise levels at times.
From November to March, strong sunshine and temperatures around 26°C drive ozone formation, with levels peaking in the afternoon. Particle levels tend to be highest from June to August, when home heating and traffic add more emissions and cold, calm spells at around 8°C slow their dispersal. Stronger winds around January, about 15 km/h on average, usually bring some of the cleanest air of the year.

Frequently Asked Questions About Air Quality in New South Wales
Is air quality bad in DC3 right now?
On 7 October 2026, overall air quality in DC3 is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 25.1/100. Pollution peaks around 6:00 AM (PM2.5: 25.1/100).
Will air quality be worse tomorrow in DC3?
On 8 October 2026, air quality conditions in DC3 will be better than today, with AQI forecast at good at 17.8/100. Pollution peaks around 9:00 AM (PM2.5: 17.8/100).
When is air pollution at its worst in DC3?
From November to March, strong sunshine and temperatures around 26°C drive ozone formation, with levels peaking in the afternoon. Particle levels tend to be highest from June to August, when home heating and traffic add more emissions and cold, calm spells at around 8°C slow their dispersal. Stronger winds around January, about 15 km/h on average, usually bring some of the cleanest air of the year.
Are air quality levels in DC3 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.
Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 air quality scores represent risk levels, not direct air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
Air Quality
| Good | 0-20 | Low air quality risk. Air quality is expected to be good, with low levels of pollution. |
| Fair | 20-40 | Generally low air quality risk. Air quality is expected to be acceptable, with some pollution present. |
| Moderate | 40-60 | Moderate air quality risk. Air pollution is elevated and air quality may be less favorable. |
| Poor | 60-80 | High air quality risk. Air pollution is high and air quality is expected to be poor. |
| Very Poor | 80-100 | Very high air quality risk. Air pollution is very high and air quality is expected to be very poor. |
