The dominant factor behind Lewistown's air quality is clean central Pennsylvania ridge-and-valley air; air quality stays good outside of pollen peaks. These factors combine to give Lewistown a fairly typical seasonal air quality pattern for this part of the country. Short-term spikes are still possible even during the generally cleaner stretches of the year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is air quality bad in Lewistown right now?

On 30 August 2026, overall air quality in Lewistown is moderate. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 49.3/100. Pollution peaks around 1:00 AM (NO2: 49.3/100).

Will air quality be worse tomorrow in Lewistown?

On 31 August 2026, air quality conditions in Lewistown will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at moderate at 46.9/100. Pollution peaks around 9:00 PM (NO2: 46.9/100).

When is air pollution at its worst in Lewistown?

Lewistown sees air quality change through the year. In short, a mild stretch in early spring often brings some of the year's better air, before summer ozone builds, whereas summer heat waves bring the highest ozone risk, compounded by pollution drifting in from the wider region. Proximity to major highway corridors tends to matter more here than season alone.

Are air quality levels in Lewistown 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.
