Local Environmental Conditions
This location in Las Vegas is largely built up, so vehicle exhaust and urban activity dominate the local air pollution sources. Lying in a valley at around 830 m and ringed by mountains, the area is prone to temperature inversions that hold pollutants near the ground when winds drop. Traffic on US-95 adds to local emissions. Parks and street trees provide a modest buffer against traffic pollution.
In January, cold air settles into the valley on calm nights and traps emissions from home heating and traffic near the ground; temperatures average about 8°C. Later in the year, hot afternoons from May to October, averaging 35°C in the warmest month, are when ozone is most likely to build up. The risk of wildfire smoke peaks from April to October, when dry vegetation burns easily.

Frequently Asked Questions About Air Quality in Nevada
Is air quality bad in Summerlin right now?
On 10 October 2026, overall air quality in Summerlin is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 31.3/100. Pollution peaks around 4:00 AM (O3: 31.3/100).

When is air pollution at its worst in Summerlin?
In January, cold air settles into the valley on calm nights and traps emissions from home heating and traffic near the ground; temperatures average about 8°C. Later in the year, hot afternoons from May to October, averaging 35°C in the warmest month, are when ozone is most likely to build up. The risk of wildfire smoke peaks from April to October, when dry vegetation burns easily.
Are air quality levels in Summerlin 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.
Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 air quality scores represent risk levels, not direct air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
Air Quality
| Good | 0-20 | Low air quality risk. Air quality is expected to be good, with low levels of pollution. |
| Fair | 20-40 | Generally low air quality risk. Air quality is expected to be acceptable, with some pollution present. |
| Moderate | 40-60 | Moderate air quality risk. Air pollution is elevated and air quality may be less favorable. |
| Poor | 60-80 | High air quality risk. Air pollution is high and air quality is expected to be poor. |
| Very Poor | 80-100 | Very high air quality risk. Air pollution is very high and air quality is expected to be very poor. |
