Worst air pollution Ózd, today and tomorrow

On 30 August 2026, overall air quality in Ózd is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 32.9/100. Pollution peaks around 2:00 PM (O3: 32.9/100).

On 31 August 2026, air quality conditions in Ózd will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at fair at 37.3/100. Pollution peaks around 12:00 PM (O3: 37.3/100).

In Ózd, reduced air quality is most noticeable when ash and oak pollen is at its peak, and on days affected by former steel-industry legacy emissions trapped by the valley; conditions tend to settle down again once weather patterns shift and the local Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén terrain ventilates more freely, usually bringing several weeks of steadier readings.

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.
