Worst air pollution Wanderers Golf Club – Championship Course - Johannesburg, today and tomorrow

On 19 July 2026, overall air quality in Wanderers Golf Club – Championship Course is fair. O3 is the main pollutant at 32.3/100. Pollution peaks around 3:00 AM (HCHO: 47.7/100).

On 20 July 2026, air quality conditions in Wanderers Golf Club – Championship Course will be similar to today, with NO2 forecast at fair at 35.3/100. Pollution peaks around 3:00 AM (HCHO: 54.3/100).

Wanderers' inner-suburb setting south of Sandton means it sees more consistent traffic-related haze than some of the more peripheral Johannesburg courses, particularly during weekday rush hours in the stiller winter months. The jacaranda-lined fairways come alive with mild pollen each September before summer rains take over.

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.
