When is air pollution at its worst in Molde?

Locally, Molde's air is most affected when wood-smoke and still air combine in winter, when the surrounding mountains trap still air close to the valley floor. The region's famously high rainfall usually washes the air clean again quickly. Beyond these episodes, Molde's air quality generally stays favourable.

Are air quality levels in Molde 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.
