Worst air pollution Berwick-upon-Tweed, today and tomorrow

On 9 August 2026, overall air quality in Berwick-upon-Tweed is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 22.5/100. Pollution peaks around 10:00 AM (O3: 22.5/100).

On 10 August 2026, air quality conditions in Berwick-upon-Tweed will be better than today, with AQI forecast at good at 18.9/100. Pollution peaks around 7:00 PM (O3: 18.9/100).

In Berwick-upon-Tweed, pollution levels don't stay flat — winter and summer look pretty different. Come winter, NO₂ and PM2.5 usually creep up, as heating and calmer air let M3 traffic emissions linger rather than disperse. By summer, ozone tends to rise on bright days, while better ventilation generally keeps particulate and NO₂ levels lower than winter. For much of spring and autumn, things settle into a fairly unremarkable middle ground.

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.
