Leizhou's air quality benefits from its exceptional Guangdong Leizhou Peninsula South China Sea coastal position, with consistent South China Sea trade winds providing reliable maritime ventilation along this tropical peninsular coast. Vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the agricultural, fishing, and light manufacturing corridor contribute modest local sources, while the outstanding tropical island coastal exposure generally maintains Leizhou among Guangdong's more moderately ventilated southern coastal smaller cities throughout most of the year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is air quality bad in Leizhou right now?
On 10 August 2026, overall air quality in Leizhou is poor. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 76.3/100. Pollution peaks around 6:00 AM (O3: 76.3/100).
Will air quality be worse tomorrow in Leizhou?
On 11 August 2026, air quality conditions in Leizhou will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at poor at 79.7/100. Pollution peaks around 8:00 AM (O3: 79.7/100).
When is air pollution at its worst in Leizhou?
Pollution in Leizhou typically rises when traffic on the surrounding roads, manufacturing activity, together with farming and agricultural processing combine, especially once onshore breezes fall calm. Maritime airflow normally ventilates the area well, though calmer spells let levels rise. This coastal advantage is less pronounced during still, high-pressure weather.
Are air quality levels in Leizhou 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.
