Worst air pollution Teruel, today and tomorrow

On 9 August 2026, overall air quality in Teruel is fair. O3 is the main pollutant at 34.2/100. Pollution peaks around 2:00 AM (NO2: 41.8/100).

On 10 August 2026, air quality conditions in Teruel will be similar to today, with O3 forecast at fair at 35.6/100. Pollution peaks around 6:00 AM (NO2: 44.7/100).

When is air quality typically worst in Teruel? The coldest months usually see the year's poorest conditions, since calm anticyclonic weather holds local traffic and wood-burning pollution near street level. The transition into spring usually brings cleaner air, as more frequent rain and wind reduce the buildup of local pollution. Summer readings are shaped mainly by ozone, which builds under strong sun and heat, sometimes worsened by drifting wildfire smoke. The first rains of autumn typically help clear out any lingering summer dust or ozone, setting up milder conditions ahead of winter. The plateau's continental climate, with cold winters and hot, dry summers, tends to produce more pronounced seasonal differences here.

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.
