Gliwice's air quality faces serious challenges as part of the Upper Silesian Coal Basin, with coal mining, coking operations, and the surrounding heavy industrial complex combined with vehicle traffic on the A1 motorway generating elevated PM2.5, SO₂, and benzo[a]pyrene. The flat Silesian basin provides some wind dispersal, but the industrial density of the surrounding Katowice-Gliwice-Zabrze conurbation maintains consistently elevated background pollution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is air quality bad in Gliwice right now?
On 30 August 2026, overall air quality in Gliwice is poor. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 61.0/100. Pollution peaks around 2:00 AM (NO2: 61.0/100).
Will air quality be worse tomorrow in Gliwice?
On 31 August 2026, air quality conditions in Gliwice will be better than today, with AQI forecast at moderate at 42.3/100. Pollution peaks around 6:00 AM (NO2: 42.3/100).
When is air pollution at its worst in Gliwice?
You're quickest to notice worse air in Gliwice when local combined tree and grass pollen peaks, or due to coal mining, coking operations, and the local heavy industrial complex; wind and rain both help clear the air fairly quickly here.
Are air quality levels in Gliwice 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.
Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?
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.
