Kukes air questions
How is the air in Kukes today?
Today the European index reaches up to 25, so the air is good. Fine particles (PM2.5) go up to 8 µg/m³.
Are these readings from a station in Kukes?
No. They are a forecast from the European CAMS model on a grid of about 10 km, not measurements. Near busy roads or fires the air can be worse than the model shows. Official measurements are published by Albania’s National Environment Agency.
The worst day looks like on Saturday: moderate air (index 42) around 22:00, mostly from fine particles (PM2.5). No noticeable pollen is expected.
- Most people need not change plans. People with asthma or heart problems may notice it a little.
Automatic forecast from Copernicus CAMS (the European model), not a measurement and not medical advice.
