City Forecast

The colors used for PM2.5, PM10 and Ozone (O3) are based on the US EPA standard. The colors used for Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) are based on an arbitrary color standard which best matches the concentration range. It does not have any relation with the AQI breakpoints, as in most cases, the AQI for those 3 gases is most often below 50.

The scale for the color range below is expressed in raw concentration (in mg/m3).

Forecast Analysis

How accurate are the forecasts?

Check the correlation graphs below for PM2.5, PM10 and Ozone for the past 30 days.

(Note that by default, all values below are expressed in AQI (without averaging), and that forecast values are based on the the forecast computed today for tomorrow, i.e. based on the 24H-48H forecast range).



Note: The convertion from ppm to mg/m3 for the Ozone is based on the STP US standard.

Future Improvements

We need your help

Help is needed for keeping the world-wide Air Quality forecast model inventory up-to-date.

  • Do you know any model not listed below but for which gridded data is available?
  • Do you know better accuracy analysis solutions which should be used here?
  • Have you done a similar research and you would like to publish it here?

    • If yes, drop us a message from the contribute page and we will contact you asap!

    About the Air Quality Levels

    AQI Air Pollution Level Health Implications Cautionary Statement (for PM2.5)
    0 - 50 Good Air quality is considered satisfactory, and air pollution poses little or no risk None
    51 -100 Moderate Air quality is acceptable; however, for some pollutants there may be a moderate health concern for a very small number of people who are unusually sensitive to air pollution. Active children and adults, and people with respiratory disease, such as asthma, should limit prolonged outdoor exertion.
    101-150 Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups Members of sensitive groups may experience health effects. The general public is not likely to be affected. Active children and adults, and people with respiratory disease, such as asthma, should limit prolonged outdoor exertion.
    151-200 Unhealthy Everyone may begin to experience health effects; members of sensitive groups may experience more serious health effects Active children and adults, and people with respiratory disease, such as asthma, should avoid prolonged outdoor exertion; everyone else, especially children, should limit prolonged outdoor exertion
    201-300 Very Unhealthy Health warnings of emergency conditions. The entire population is more likely to be affected. Active children and adults, and people with respiratory disease, such as asthma, should avoid all outdoor exertion; everyone else, especially children, should limit outdoor exertion.
    300+ Hazardous Health alert: everyone may experience more serious health effects Everyone should avoid all outdoor exertion
