Worst air pollution Nærøysund kommune, today and tomorrow

On 9 August 2026, overall air quality in Nærøysund kommune is good. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 15.9/100. Pollution peaks around 12:00 PM (O3: 15.9/100).

On 10 August 2026, air quality conditions in Nærøysund kommune will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at good at 16.1/100. Pollution peaks around 7:00 PM (O3: 16.1/100).

Nærøysund kommune typically sees the sharpest drop in air quality when temperature inversions settle in overnight, when temperature inversions over the flat agricultural lowlands trap emissions close to the ground. The open fjord and surrounding farmland generally provide good ventilation the rest of the year. The rest of the year, residents can expect generally clean air in Nærøysund kommune.

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.
