Worst air pollution Rostock, today and tomorrow

On 21 July 2026, overall air quality in Rostock is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 23.7/100. Pollution peaks around 4:00 PM (O3: 23.7/100).

On 22 July 2026, air quality conditions in Rostock will be better than today, with AQI forecast at good at 18.4/100. Pollution peaks around 6:00 PM (O3: 18.4/100).

Air quality dips in Rostock mostly track oak, beech, and birch pollen peaks and hot, still days when local emissions build up; local traffic and occasional agricultural or industrial activity add modest sources. The coastal maritime influence here keeps ragweed presence minimal, unlike in southern Germany. 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.
