Szeged's air quality reflects its position on the flat Pannonian plain in southeastern Hungary at the confluence of the Tisza and Maros rivers, with vehicle traffic on the M43 motorway and residential coal and wood burning generating elevated PM2.5 during winter. The flat Great Hungarian Plain generally allows reasonable wind dispersal on most days, while winter temperature inversions on the open Alföld concentrate heating and vehicle emissions under cold anticyclonic periods, and the surrounding Bácska agricultural plain contributes ammonia and dust seasonally.

When is air pollution at its worst in Szeged?
In Szeged, reduced air quality is most noticeable when poplar and linden pollen peaks, and on days affected by vehicle traffic on the M43 motorway and residential coal and wood burning; the rest of the year typically brings clearer, more consistent conditions.
Are air quality levels in Szeged 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.
