Pogradec air questions

How is the air in Pogradec today?

Today the European index reaches up to 29, so the air is good. Fine particles (PM2.5) go up to 6 µg/m³.

Are these readings from a station in Pogradec?

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.

Over the next 4 days the air in Pogradec looks good: the European index stays at or below 35, with ozone the main contributor. No noticeable pollen is expected.

Tips
