On 10 August 2026, air quality conditions in Råde kommune will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at fair at 34.5/100. Pollution peaks around 12:00 AM (O3: 34.5/100).

Locally, Råde kommune's air is most affected during the birch pollen peak in late spring, when the spring birch peak coincides with the first cereal pollen from surrounding fields. This part of eastern Norway generally sees decent background air quality overall. The rest of the year, residents can expect generally clean air in Råde 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.
