Worst air pollution Ancona, today and tomorrow

On 30 August 2026, overall air quality in Ancona is moderate. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 42.0/100. Pollution peaks around 4:00 PM (O3: 42.0/100).

On 31 August 2026, air quality conditions in Ancona will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at moderate at 45.6/100. Pollution peaks around 3:00 PM (O3: 45.6/100).

Reduced air quality in Ancona is most likely when olive and oak pollen peaks, alongside periods of the Port of Ancona's ferry and cargo operations and vehicle traffic on the A14 motorway; the picture usually improves again once the season turns.

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.
