WIN Stadium sits close to central Wollongong, a coastal position that benefits from onshore Tasman Sea breezes providing decent ventilation on event days, in contrast to the city's industrial Port Kembla precinct further south. Traffic concentrates around the stadium and adjacent beachfront on match days. There is no industry immediately nearby. Bushfire smoke is a periodic summer risk from the forested escarpment inland. Overall, background air quality here is generally good, reflecting Wollongong's better-ventilated coastal core.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is air quality bad in WIN Stadium right now?

On 5 August 2026, overall air quality in WIN Stadium is good. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 19.5/100. Pollution peaks around 7:00 PM (NO2: 19.5/100).

Will air quality be worse tomorrow in WIN Stadium?

When is air pollution at its worst in WIN Stadium?

WIN Stadium, close to the Wollongong coastline, generally benefits from onshore breezes, with summer bushfire smoke, December to March, from the escarpment forests the main exception during hot, still conditions. Winter wood-heater smoke is a secondary, milder factor to expect.

Are air quality levels in WIN Stadium 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.
