Worst air pollution Aalen, today and tomorrow

On 23 August 2026, overall air quality in Aalen is moderate. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 54.7/100. Pollution peaks around 3:00 AM (NO2: 54.7/100).

On 24 August 2026, air quality conditions in Aalen will be better than today, with AQI forecast at fair at 34.8/100. Pollution peaks around 5:00 PM (O3: 34.8/100).

In Aalen, reduced air quality is most noticeable when oak, chestnut, and ash pollen peaks, or during hot, still days when local emissions build up; everyday driving through the area contributes a modest amount. A light-to-moderate ragweed presence is typical here from mid-August into September. Wind and rain both help clear the air noticeably here.

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.
