Worst air pollution Garmisch-Partenkirchen, today and tomorrow

On 21 July 2026, overall air quality in Garmisch-Partenkirchen is fair. O3 is the main pollutant at 32.5/100. Pollution peaks around 7:00 AM (NO2: 44.1/100).

On 22 July 2026, air quality conditions in Garmisch-Partenkirchen will be similar to today, with O3 forecast at fair at 33.1/100. Pollution peaks around 6:00 AM (NO2: 42.3/100).

Air quality dips in Garmisch-Partenkirchen mostly track spruce, beech, and linden pollen peaks and windless summer days when pollutants accumulate nearby; ordinary road use nearby adds a small but steady source. The warmer, more continental climate here brings a modest ragweed presence from mid-August. Conditions generally improve on windier, less humid days.

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.
