Worst air pollution Cascais, today and tomorrow

On 21 July 2026, overall air quality in Cascais is medium. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 42.7/100. Pollution peaks around 3:00 PM (O3: 42.7/100).

On 22 July 2026, air quality conditions in Cascais will be worse than today, with AQI forecast at fair at 33.7/100. Pollution peaks around 12:00 PM (O3: 33.7/100).

The most noticeable dips in Cascais's air quality come when local tree and grass allergens peaks, or because of this is consistently one of the Lisbon region's cleanest locations, with the open Atlantic; beyond that, the area's natural ventilation keeps air quality consistently favourable through the rest of the year.

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.
