Worst air pollution Figueira da Foz, today and tomorrow

On 21 July 2026, overall air quality in Figueira da Foz is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 36.3/100. Pollution peaks around 2:00 PM (O3: 36.3/100).

On 22 July 2026, air quality conditions in Figueira da Foz will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at fair at 39.1/100. Pollution peaks around 3:00 PM (O3: 39.1/100).

The most noticeable dips in Figueira da Foz's air quality come when estuary corridor pine and oak pollen peaks, or because of vehicle traffic on the A14 motorway and the Celbi paper and pulp mill operations; background levels usually settle back down once the season changes.

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.
