Worst air pollution Seixal, today and tomorrow

On 21 July 2026, overall air quality in Seixal 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 Seixal will be worse than today, with AQI forecast at fair at 33.7/100. Pollution peaks around 12:00 PM (O3: 33.7/100).

People in Seixal tend to notice reduced air quality when estuary pine and eucalyptus pollen peaks, or because of the Seixal industrial zone's steel and chemical operations and heavy traffic on the A2; conditions usually ease once the wet season or windier weather returns.

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.
