Donauwörth's air quality reflects its position in the Franconian river-valley countryside, with traffic on nearby federal roads and local streets and surrounding manufacturing and agricultural activity contributing local sources. Valley floors here are somewhat more prone to trapping pollutants, while the broader Nuremberg-area industrial background and regional airflow are the main influences throughout the year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is air quality bad in Donauwörth right now?

On 10 August 2026, overall air quality in Donauwörth is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 38.0/100. Pollution peaks around 12:00 PM (O3: 38.0/100).

Will air quality be worse tomorrow in Donauwörth?

When is air pollution at its worst in Donauwörth?

Donauwörth residents notice reduced air quality mainly when beech, hornbeam, and oak pollen peaks, or on still, humid days when emissions linger locally; day-to-day road traffic here stays a fairly minor, steady source. The warmer, more continental climate here brings a modest ragweed presence from mid-August. Fresh air tends to follow a change in wind direction here.

Are air quality levels in Donauwörth 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.
