Shaoxing's air quality reflects the flat Zhejiang Cao'e River valley's coastal plain position, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the textile — Shaoxing being China's textile capital — chemical, and wine corridor contributing elevated VOCs and industrial PM2.5. East China Sea breezes provide maritime ventilation, while winter anticyclonic inversions concentrate textile industrial and heating emissions and Shaoxing generally maintains moderate Yangtze Delta Zhejiang provincial readings throughout most of the year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is air quality bad in Shaoxing right now?
On 10 August 2026, overall air quality in Shaoxing is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 39.3/100. Pollution peaks around 3:00 PM (O3: 39.3/100).
Will air quality be worse tomorrow in Shaoxing?
On 11 August 2026, air quality conditions in Shaoxing will be worse than today, with AQI forecast at poor at 67.1/100. Pollution peaks around 1:00 PM (O3: 67.1/100).
When is air pollution at its worst in Shaoxing?
The biggest local contributors to pollution in Shaoxing are road traffic, heavy industrial and chemical processing, as well as manufacturing and food processing, particularly once temperature inversions set in over the valley. The bowl-like terrain here limits how quickly pollutants can escape. Dust carried on these winds adds substantially to particulate levels.
Are air quality levels in Shaoxing 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.
