Worst air pollution Gera, today and tomorrow

On 21 July 2026, overall air quality in Gera is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 28.3/100. Pollution peaks around 5:00 PM (O3: 28.3/100).

On 22 July 2026, air quality conditions in Gera will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at fair at 24.6/100. Pollution peaks around 2:00 PM (O3: 24.6/100).

You're most likely to notice worse air in Gera when ash, beech, and oak pollen peaks, or on calm, hot days when local sources build up; ordinary road use nearby adds a small but steady source. From mid-August, this continental region typically sees a modest ragweed presence. Early mornings after overnight rain usually offer the freshest air.

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.
