Numazu's air quality reflects the Shizuoka Prefecture Suruga Bay coastal position with Mount Fuji's iconic backdrop, with consistent Pacific and Suruga Bay maritime breezes providing reliable ventilation. Vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the manufacturing, fishing, and tourism corridor contribute local sources, while the outstanding coastal exposure and the extraordinary Fuji and Hakone highland backdrop create dramatic topographic variation and Numazu generally maintains moderate to good conditions for a major Japanese Pacific coastal city throughout most of the year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is air quality bad in Numazu right now?

On 10 August 2026, overall air quality in Numazu is poor. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 68.3/100. Pollution peaks around 4:00 PM (O3: 68.3/100).

When is air pollution at its worst in Numazu?

Air quality in Numazu tends to be worse when road traffic, textile and manufacturing operations, together with shipbuilding and port operations build up and the sea breeze weakens. Onshore breezes usually help clear the air, but pollution can build up when winds are light. Areas further inland without this ventilation tend to fare worse.

Are air quality levels in Numazu 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.
