Worst air pollution Bad Ragaz, today and tomorrow

On 30 August 2026, overall air quality in Bad Ragaz is moderate. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 49.0/100. Pollution peaks around 2:00 AM (NO2: 49.0/100).

On 31 August 2026, air quality conditions in Bad Ragaz will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at moderate at 45.7/100. Pollution peaks around 1:00 AM (NO2: 45.7/100).

Bad Ragaz sees its worst air quality when winter calm lets vehicle traffic and light industry pool in the valley, held in by the surrounding terrain. Summer usually brings much better dispersion through the valley, aside from the odd ozone spike during a hot, still afternoon, with spring and autumn typically the steadiest.

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.
