Worst air pollution Zutphen, today and tomorrow

On 9 August 2026, overall air quality in Zutphen is poor. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 61.0/100. Pollution peaks around 6:00 PM (O3: 61.0/100).

On 10 August 2026, air quality conditions in Zutphen will be better than today, with AQI forecast at fair at 29.6/100. Pollution peaks around 1:00 PM (O3: 29.6/100).

People visiting or living in Zutphen generally notice the biggest dip in air quality through spring and into early summer, when birch, oak, and pine pollen peaks, or on windless, warm days when traffic on the A1 and industry emissions gather; nearby woodland and open fields generally help keep the air clear. Most weeks outside these periods bring Zutphen conditions close to the broader Dutch norm.

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.
