Worst air pollution Almelo, today and tomorrow

On 21 July 2026, overall air quality in Almelo is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 25.3/100. Pollution peaks around 6:00 PM (O3: 25.3/100).

On 22 July 2026, air quality conditions in Almelo will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at fair at 21.2/100. Pollution peaks around 10:00 AM (O3: 21.2/100).

The clearest air quality impact for Almelo tends to come across the spring and early-summer stretch, during the birch, oak, and pine pollen peak, or on still, warm days when traffic on the A35 and industry emissions pile up; the mix of heath, forest, and farmland typically supports decent dispersal. Beyond these spells, Almelo usually offers conditions comparable to the wider Dutch average.

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.
