Worst air pollution Apalachicola, today and tomorrow

On 9 August 2026, overall air quality in Apalachicola is fair. O3 is the main pollutant at 24.5/100. Pollution peaks around 12:00 AM (PM10: 41.4/100).

On 10 August 2026, air quality conditions in Apalachicola will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at fair at 29.0/100. Pollution peaks around 12:00 AM (PM2.5: 29.0/100).

Air quality in Apalachicola shifts across the year. Typically, frequent afternoon thunderstorms through the wet season help keep particulate levels down for much of the year, while wildfire and prescribed-burn smoke are most common in the drier months from autumn through spring. Sea breezes help disperse pollution on most days, though smoke from inland fires can still drift into populated areas.

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.
