Tirana air questions
How is the air in Tirana today?
Today the European index reaches up to 28, so the air is good. Fine particles (PM2.5) go up to 9 µg/m³.
Are these readings from a station in Tirana?
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 41) around 18:00, 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.
