Worst air pollution Dupnitsa, today and tomorrow

On 12 August 2026, overall air quality in Dupnitsa is fair. NO2 is the main pollutant at 35.1/100. Pollution peaks around 12:00 PM (O3: 43.6/100).

On 13 August 2026, air quality conditions in Dupnitsa will be similar to today, with NO2 forecast at fair at 32.7/100. Pollution peaks around 2:00 PM (O3: 44.1/100).

The times to expect weaker air quality in Dupnitsa are during hornbeam and oak pollen peaks and spells of vehicle traffic and residential wood-burning trapped by the valley; beyond those windows, conditions across Kyustendil are typically steadier, particularly when wind or rain helps clear the air.

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.
