Worst air pollution Åbyhøj - Aarhus, today and tomorrow

On 4 August 2026, overall air quality in Åbyhøj is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 36.0/100. Pollution peaks around 6:00 AM (NO2: 36.0/100).

On 5 August 2026, air quality conditions in Åbyhøj will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at fair at 27.4/100. Pollution peaks around 10:00 AM (O3: 27.4/100).

Åbyhøj's air quality dips are tied mainly to traffic along one of Aarhus's busier arterial routes into the centre, compounded by the district's inland position away from direct sea exposure. Dispersal here depends more on general wind patterns than in Aarhus's coastal neighbourhoods.

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.

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.
