Puning's air quality reflects the Guangdong eastern coastal Jianjiang River valley position, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the garment manufacturing, plastics, and agricultural corridor contributing local sources. Consistent South China Sea trade winds provide maritime ventilation, while the coastal proximity generally maintains moderate Guangdong eastern corridor readings and the rapidly expanding urban development drives increasing vehicle emissions throughout most of the year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is air quality bad in Puning right now?
On 10 August 2026, overall air quality in Puning is fair. SO2 is the main pollutant at 33.3/100. Pollution peaks around 7:00 PM (O3: 47.3/100).
Will air quality be worse tomorrow in Puning?
On 11 August 2026, air quality conditions in Puning will be worse than today, with AQI forecast at very poor at 90.6/100. Pollution peaks around 5:00 PM (O3: 90.6/100).
When is air pollution at its worst in Puning?
Pollution in Puning typically rises when traffic on the surrounding roads, light manufacturing, together with agricultural burning combine, especially once onshore breezes fall calm. Onshore breezes usually help clear the air, but pollution can build up when winds are light. This natural ventilation is one reason coastal areas often see better readings than inland cities.
Are air quality levels in Puning 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.
