Oklahoma City's Uptown 23rd air quality reflects the historic NW 23rd Street corridor, with vehicle traffic on NW 23rd Street and the surrounding mixed residential and boutique commercial character contributing local sources. The flat Oklahoma terrain and consistent Great Plains southerly winds allow good dispersal, while the neighbourhood's walkable character and the tree-lined residential streets generally maintain moderate Oklahoma City metropolitan readings throughout most of the year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is air quality bad in Uptown 23rd right now?
On 9 August 2026, overall air quality in Uptown 23rd is poor. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 66.4/100. Pollution peaks around 8:00 AM (O3: 66.4/100).

When is air pollution at its worst in Uptown 23rd?
Uptown 23rd follows Oklahoma City's typical seasonal air quality pattern — the cleanest stretches usually come in spring and fall, between the summer ozone season and the calmer winter pollution episodes, whereas summer heat waves are the main driver of poor air quality, as ozone builds under stagnant, humid conditions. Lake-effect winds can help clear the air on many days near the Great Lakes shoreline.
Are air quality levels in Uptown 23rd 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.
