Worst air pollution Kyalami Country Club – Championship Course - Johannesburg, today and tomorrow

On 19 July 2026, overall air quality in Kyalami Country Club – Championship Course is fair. O3 is the main pollutant at 32.3/100. Pollution peaks around 11:00 PM (SO2: 58.6/100).

On 20 July 2026, air quality conditions in Kyalami Country Club – Championship Course will be worse than today, with AQI forecast at poor at 76.5/100. Pollution peaks around 11:00 PM (SO2: 76.5/100).

Kyalami's proximity to the historic motor racing circuit and the busy Midrand commercial corridor means traffic is the dominant local factor, most noticeable on still winter mornings before the day's breezes build. Summer's thunderstorm season from November generally provides the most reliably clean playing conditions.

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.
