Regensburg's air quality reflects its position in the Danube valley in eastern Bavaria, with vehicle traffic on the A3 and the surrounding BMW manufacturing and electronics industry contributing elevated NO₂ and PM2.5. Winter temperature inversions in the Danube valley can temporarily concentrate vehicle and heating emissions, while the Bavarian plateau generally allows reasonable dispersal.

When is air pollution at its worst in Regensburg?
Air quality dips in Regensburg mostly track spruce, linden, and birch pollen peaks and hot, still days when local emissions build up; traffic on the main roads through town is a modest local source. Ragweed levels rise modestly from mid-August, consistent with much of southern Germany. Mornings and breezier days generally bring the clearest conditions.
Are air quality levels in Regensburg 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.
