Worst air pollution Camp Akita, today and tomorrow

On 20 September 2026, overall air quality in Camp Akita is good. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 19.6/100. Pollution peaks around 12:00 PM (O3: 19.6/100).

On 21 September 2026, air quality conditions in Camp Akita will be worse than today, with AQI forecast at fair at 21.7/100. Pollution peaks around 4:00 PM (NO2: 21.7/100).

Winter tends to bring the year's worst particulate spikes here, driven by heating season smoke that lingers under stagnant, cold winter air. As the weather warms, ozone tends to overtake other concerns in this area, since summer heat and sunlight are usually enough on their own to push ozone higher here. Spring and fall typically bring a welcome improvement, as milder temperatures and better wind flow clear the air.

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.
