Worst air pollution Villeneuve-sur-Lot, today and tomorrow

On 21 July 2026, overall air quality in Villeneuve-sur-Lot is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 35.9/100. Pollution peaks around 6:00 PM (O3: 35.9/100).

On 22 July 2026, air quality conditions in Villeneuve-sur-Lot will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at fair at 37.4/100. Pollution peaks around 6:00 PM (O3: 37.4/100).

The days that hit sensitive groups hardest in Villeneuve-sur-Lot are calm spring ones, when port traffic and light industry and the oak and plane pollen peak overlap; Atlantic westerlies ventilate the region regularly, so relief usually isn't far behind. Nearby vineyard land and the Landes pine forest 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.
