In Manosque, tourist traffic and coastal industry is the primary local source affecting air quality, near the Durance, and the Mistral wind provides powerful periodic ventilation, which helps maintain reasonable air quality across the year. Hot, calm summer stretches bring the greatest ozone risk between Mistral episodes, while winter tends to be cleaner and better ventilated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is air quality bad in Manosque right now?

On 21 July 2026, overall air quality in Manosque is fair. O3 is the main pollutant at 38.1/100. Pollution peaks around 6:00 AM (NO2: 45.9/100).

Will air quality be worse tomorrow in Manosque?

On 22 July 2026, air quality conditions in Manosque will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at fair at 38.5/100. Pollution peaks around 5:00 PM (O3: 38.5/100).

When is air pollution at its worst in Manosque?

Residents in Manosque tend to notice the most discomfort when tourist traffic and coastal industry build up alongside the spring peak in plane and pine pollen; the Mistral wind provides powerful periodic ventilation, which typically keeps things from getting worse for long. Nearby Provencal farmland and garrigue scrub add a further seasonal factor.

Are air quality levels in Manosque 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.
