On 20 September 2026, overall air quality in Downtown Beatrice is moderate. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 40.4/100. Pollution peaks around 4:00 PM (NO2: 40.4/100).

When is air pollution at its worst in Downtown Beatrice?

Seasonal changes shape air quality at Downtown Beatrice much as they do across Beatrice. In short, a quiet stretch in deep winter is often the cleanest time, once the growing-season dust has settled, whereas strong spring winds can raise dust suddenly, and summer heat adds its own ozone risk on top. Wide-open terrain generally helps disperse pollution quickly once the wind picks up.

Are air quality levels in Downtown Beatrice based on measurements or forecasts?

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.

Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?

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.
