In Friona, with traffic fairly sparse here, dust kicked up from nearby farmland tends to matter more than vehicle emissions. A patch of green space in the area offers some natural buffering against local particulate matter. Actual air quality on a given day still depends heavily on local wind and weather conditions.

Is air quality bad in Friona right now?
On 30 August 2026, overall air quality in Friona is very poor. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 90.6/100. Pollution peaks around 7:00 PM (NO2: 90.6/100).
Will air quality be worse tomorrow in Friona?
On 31 August 2026, air quality conditions in Friona will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at very poor at 90.0/100. Pollution peaks around 7:00 PM (NO2: 90.0/100).
When is air pollution at its worst in Friona?
From December to February, average wind speeds run around 19 km/h with temperatures near 4°C, calm and cool enough to let particulate matter and smoke build up near the ground rather than disperse. From June to August, temperatures average around 27°C, warm enough for strong sun and heat to drive ground-level ozone formation.
Are air quality levels in Friona 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.
