Worst air pollution Sweet Auburn - Atlanta, today and tomorrow

On 18 July 2026, overall air quality in Sweet Auburn is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 29.2/100. Pollution peaks around 8:00 AM (O3: 29.2/100).

On 19 July 2026, air quality conditions in Sweet Auburn will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at fair at 29.5/100. Pollution peaks around 1:00 PM (O3: 29.5/100).

Sweet Auburn experiences the same seasonal air quality swings as the rest of Atlanta: once summer humidity fades, winter typically offers the most consistently clean air, but summer heat, humidity, and emissions from surrounding forests combine to drive ozone levels up. Prescribed burns are more common in the cooler months and can add brief smoke episodes.

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.
