Huangshi's air quality reflects the Hubei eastern Yangtze River valley industrial position adjacent to Wuhan, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the copper mining, cement, and steel corridor generating elevated industrial PM2.5 and heavy metals. The Yangtze valley provides limited waterway ventilation, while winter anticyclonic inversions concentrate industrial and heating emissions and Huangshi generally maintains moderate to elevated Hubei eastern Yangtze industrial corridor readings throughout most of the year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is air quality bad in Huangshi right now?
On 10 August 2026, overall air quality in Huangshi is good. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 19.1/100. Pollution peaks around 1:00 AM (O3: 19.1/100).
Will air quality be worse tomorrow in Huangshi?
On 11 August 2026, air quality conditions in Huangshi will be worse than today, with SO2 forecast at fair at 28.8/100. Pollution peaks around 9:00 PM (NO2: 49.2/100).
When is air pollution at its worst in Huangshi?
Air quality in Huangshi tends to be worse when vehicle traffic, petrochemical and refining operations, together with mining operations build up and the surrounding valley traps air close to the ground. The bowl-like terrain here limits how quickly pollutants can escape. These wind events can carry dust in from the surrounding arid landscape.
Are air quality levels in Huangshi 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.
Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?
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.
