Worst air pollution Nord-Aurdal kommune, today and tomorrow

On 9 August 2026, overall air quality in Nord-Aurdal kommune is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 28.1/100. Pollution peaks around 7:00 PM (O3: 28.1/100).

On 10 August 2026, air quality conditions in Nord-Aurdal kommune will be better than today, with AQI forecast at good at 18.6/100. Pollution peaks around 12:00 AM (O3: 18.6/100).

Nord-Aurdal kommune sees its most noticeable air quality dips when wood-smoke and still air combine in winter, when calm, cold winter air settles in the valley and holds local emissions in place. This inland district generally enjoys decent air quality for most of the year. Most of the year, conditions in Nord-Aurdal kommune stay comfortably within normal ranges.

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.
