Worst air pollution Starnberger See corridor - Munich, today and tomorrow

On 23 August 2026, overall air quality in Starnberger See corridor is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 32.8/100. Pollution peaks around 5:00 PM (O3: 32.8/100).

On 24 August 2026, air quality conditions in Starnberger See corridor will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at fair at 33.9/100. Pollution peaks around 4:00 PM (O3: 33.9/100).

Visitors to the Starnberger See corridor are most likely to notice reduced air quality when linden, alder, and lakeside tree pollen peaks, or on hot, still days when local emissions build up; boat and lakeside traffic are a minor local source. Munich's continental climate brings a modest ragweed presence from mid-August. Breezy lake-effect days generally bring the clearest conditions 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.
