Worst air pollution Schwäbisch Gmünd, today and tomorrow

On 21 July 2026, overall air quality in Schwäbisch Gmünd is fair. O3 is the main pollutant at 30.0/100. Pollution peaks around 11:00 PM (NO2: 46.0/100).

On 22 July 2026, air quality conditions in Schwäbisch Gmünd will be better than today, with AQI forecast at medium at 57.2/100. Pollution peaks around 5:00 AM (NO2: 57.2/100).

Schwäbisch Gmünd residents notice reduced air quality mainly when linden, ash, and chestnut pollen peaks, or on warm, windless days when local pollution accumulates; the town's own traffic remains a modest, everyday contributor. From mid-August, a modest ragweed presence typically appears in this warmer region. A shift to windier weather typically brings noticeable relief 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.
