Worst air pollution Clonmel, today and tomorrow

On 9 August 2026, overall air quality in Clonmel is fair. PM1 is the main pollutant at 23.3/100. Pollution peaks around 4:00 PM (O3: 48.9/100).

On 10 August 2026, air quality conditions in Clonmel will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at fair at 24.6/100. Pollution peaks around 6:00 PM (O3: 24.6/100).

Seasonal air quality in Clonmel is closely linked to its riverside setting on the River Suir in Tipperary. Turf and coal smoke can build up on still, cold winter nights, while the wetter, windier months of the rest of the year usually keep the air clean. A change in the weather, which happens often in Ireland, usually clears any smoke within a day or two.

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.
