Local Environmental Conditions
Around this part of Riga, dense development means road traffic is the main local source of nitrogen dioxide and fine particles. In cold weather, wood burning and other home heating become a noticeable source of fine particles. Pockets of trees and green space help filter a small share of the particles from traffic. Breezes off the nearby water usually help clear pollutants away.
With summer temperatures averaging only about 19°C, ozone rarely becomes a serious problem. Fine particle levels climb from October to April, as home heating and traffic combine with cold, still air averaging -3°C. Stronger winds around January, about 20 km/h on average, usually bring some of the cleanest air of the year.

Fine particle levels climb from October to April, as home heating and traffic combine with cold, still air averaging -3°C. Stronger winds around January, about 20 km/h on average, usually bring some of the cleanest air of the year.
Are air quality levels in House of the Blackheads 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.
Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 air quality scores represent risk levels, not direct air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
Air Quality
| Good | 0-20 | Low air quality risk. Air quality is expected to be good, with low levels of pollution. |
| Fair | 20-40 | Generally low air quality risk. Air quality is expected to be acceptable, with some pollution present. |
| Moderate | 40-60 | Moderate air quality risk. Air pollution is elevated and air quality may be less favorable. |
| Poor | 60-80 | High air quality risk. Air pollution is high and air quality is expected to be poor. |
| Very Poor | 80-100 | Very high air quality risk. Air pollution is very high and air quality is expected to be very poor. |
