Worst air pollution Hunt Club Park - Ottawa, today and tomorrow

On 24 August 2026, overall air quality in Hunt Club Park is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 28.4/100. Pollution peaks around 11:00 AM (O3: 28.4/100).

On 25 August 2026, air quality conditions in Hunt Club Park will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at fair at 25.2/100. Pollution peaks around 8:00 AM (O3: 25.2/100).

Particulate levels here tend to peak during the winter months more than any other season, as cold, stagnant air traps heating and traffic emissions close to street level through the winter. As the weather warms, ozone typically overtakes particulate matter as the top concern here, with strong sun, heat, and traffic emissions together driving ozone higher through the summer months.

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.
