Huizhou's air quality reflects the Guangdong eastern Pearl River Delta coastal plain position, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the petrochemical — Huizhou hosting the massive CNOOC-Shell complex — electronics, and manufacturing corridor generating elevated industrial SO₂ and PM2.5. Consistent South China Sea trade winds provide maritime ventilation, while the petrochemical complex's industrial scale represents Huizhou's most distinctive local air quality contribution throughout most of the year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is air quality bad in Huizhou right now?

On 10 August 2026, overall air quality in Huizhou is poor. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 63.9/100. Pollution peaks around 11:00 PM (NO2: 63.9/100).

Will air quality be worse tomorrow in Huizhou?

On 11 August 2026, air quality conditions in Huizhou will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at poor at 79.3/100. Pollution peaks around 5:00 PM (O3: 79.3/100).

When is air pollution at its worst in Huizhou?

Huizhou usually sees its poorest air quality when traffic on the surrounding roads, heavy industry such as steel, cement, or petrochemical processing, along with textile and manufacturing operations coincide with periods when dry, windy weather picks up. Dust carried on these winds adds substantially to particulate levels. Onshore breezes usually help clear the air, but pollution can build up when winds are light.

Are air quality levels in Huizhou 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.
