Worst air pollution Everglades National Park - Miami, today and tomorrow

On 18 July 2026, overall air quality in Everglades National Park is poor. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 65.3/100. Pollution peaks around 11:00 PM (PM10: 65.3/100).

On 19 July 2026, air quality conditions in Everglades National Park will be worse than today, with AQI forecast at very poor at 100/100. Pollution peaks around 3:00 AM (PM10: 100/100).

This landmark in Miami sees air quality shift through the year, as frequent afternoon thunderstorms through the wet season help keep particulate levels down for much of the year; by contrast, 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.
