On 20 September 2026, overall air quality in Bowling Green, Ohio is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 31.6/100. Pollution peaks around 5:00 PM (NO2: 31.6/100).

On 21 September 2026, air quality conditions in Bowling Green, Ohio will be worse than today, with AQI forecast at moderate at 45.5/100. Pollution peaks around 5:00 PM (NO2: 45.5/100).

Bowling Green's air quality follows a clear seasonal pattern: the cleanest stretches usually come in spring and fall, between the summer ozone season and the calmer winter pollution episodes, but prolonged summer heat waves are when air quality most often dips into unhealthy territory. Calm, cold winter spells can occasionally allow local pollution to build up before the next weather system clears it.

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.
