Worst air pollution Pontivy, today and tomorrow

On 21 July 2026, overall air quality in Pontivy is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 30.5/100. Pollution peaks around 5:00 PM (O3: 30.5/100).

On 22 July 2026, air quality conditions in Pontivy will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at fair at 29.0/100. Pollution peaks around 8:00 PM (O3: 29.0/100).

The days that hit sensitive groups hardest in Pontivy are calm spring ones, when fishing-port and coastal traffic and the birch and oak pollen peak overlap; Atlantic sea breezes ventilate the coast reliably, so relief usually isn't far behind. Nearby Breton dairy pasture and coastal farmland add a further seasonal factor.

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.
