When is air pollution at its worst in Chilliwack?

Air quality in Chilliwack changes through the year largely because of farmland of the eastern Fraser Valley, hemmed in by mountains. Mild, wet winters keep the air clean, while hot summer days can trap drifting city traffic and farm dust against the valley's mountain walls. Local dairy and berry farming add a modest, steady contribution on top of the seasonal pattern.

Are air quality levels in Chilliwack 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.
