Worst air pollution Ludwigshafen, today and tomorrow

On 21 July 2026, overall air quality in Ludwigshafen is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 30.6/100. Pollution peaks around 3:00 PM (O3: 30.6/100).

On 22 July 2026, air quality conditions in Ludwigshafen will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at fair at 28.5/100. Pollution peaks around 2:00 PM (O3: 28.5/100).

In Ludwigshafen, air quality dips most noticeably when oak, maple, and walnut pollen peaks, or on warm, windless days when local pollution accumulates; typical local traffic patterns add only a modest contribution. This region typically sees only a light ragweed presence in late summer. Clearer conditions generally arrive on breezier, wetter 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.
