In New Smyrna Beach, with traffic fairly sparse here, dust kicked up from nearby farmland tends to matter more than vehicle emissions. Green space close by offers a partial natural check on particulate buildup. The surrounding area tends to follow a similar pattern, with only minor local variation. Wind patterns on any given day can shift this picture meaningfully in either direction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is air quality bad in New Smyrna Beach right now?
On 20 September 2026, overall air quality in New Smyrna Beach is very poor. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 86.7/100. Pollution peaks around 11:00 AM (PM10: 86.7/100).
Will air quality be worse tomorrow in New Smyrna Beach?
On 21 September 2026, air quality conditions in New Smyrna Beach will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at very poor at 100/100. Pollution peaks around 3:00 PM (PM10: 100/100).
When is air pollution at its worst in New Smyrna Beach?
November to January typically brings light winds, around 12 km/h, and temperatures near 17°C -- calm enough for particulate matter and smoke to build up near the ground rather than clear out. From June to August, temperatures average around 28°C, warm enough for strong sun and heat to drive ground-level ozone formation.
Are air quality levels in New Smyrna Beach 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.
