On 9 August 2026, overall air quality in Vitória de Santo Antão is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 20.4/100. Pollution peaks around 3:00 AM (O3: 20.4/100).

On 10 August 2026, air quality conditions in Vitória de Santo Antão will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at fair at 22.5/100. Pollution peaks around 11:00 PM (O3: 22.5/100).

Air quality dips in Vitória de Santo Antão mostly track native Atlantic Forest remnants and eucalyptus pollen peaks and periods of vehicle emissions from the BR-232 and surrounding sugarcane and food processing industry; wind and rain both help clear the air fairly quickly here.

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.
