Worst air pollution Fort Myers, today and tomorrow

On 9 August 2026, overall air quality in Fort Myers is poor. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 61.7/100. Pollution peaks around 2:00 AM (PM10: 61.7/100).

On 10 August 2026, air quality conditions in Fort Myers will be better than today, with O3 forecast at fair at 31.9/100. Pollution peaks around 11:00 PM (PM10: 58.2/100).

Air quality in Fort Myers shifts across the year. Typically, daily summer storms tend to scrub the air clean before pollution can build up, 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.
