City rankings: smoke, fires and pollution right now

How the 58 cities with pages here compare, on what the satellites see around them. The fire tables change with each satellite pass; NO₂ is a 14-day average updated daily; the site counts change only when the source lists are rebuilt. These rank what is around each city, not how much of it is in the air.

Air quality now

Readings come straight to your browser from Copernicus CAMS model estimates via Open-Meteo, so they load only when you ask. The model reads low in winter.

Upwind is a guide, not proof: smoke can travel further than 250 km, the wind turns during the day, and satellites can't see fires under cloud. A fire spot is one fire, about 375 m across, however many satellites saw it. Fires: NASA FIRMS (VIIRS and MODIS). Wind: Open-Meteo's weather model. Air: Copernicus CAMS model estimates, which read low in winter.
