Worst air pollution Griffiths Stadium - Saskatoon, today and tomorrow

On 9 August 2026, overall air quality in Griffiths Stadium is fair. PM1 is the main pollutant at 21.7/100. Pollution peaks around 9:00 AM (O3: 57.0/100).

On 10 August 2026, air quality conditions in Griffiths Stadium will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at fair at 24.6/100. Pollution peaks around 10:00 AM (O3: 24.6/100).

Throughout the year, air quality in Griffiths Stadium rises and falls with the seasons, shaped by its campus setting at the University of Saskatchewan. Winter's stiller, colder spells can trap local emissions close to the ground, while summer heat and dry conditions sometimes bring smoke drifting down from northern wildfires. The flat, exposed landscape means wind usually disperses pollution fairly quickly once it picks up.

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.
