Air quality, forecasts & fires

Free

Check current air quality, compare 48-hour research forecasts and follow reported fires near your saved places across Australia. Understand air quality around you and keep an eye on the places that matter. BushfireSmoke Australia brings together recent government PM2.5 readings, 48-hour research forecasts and agency-reported fires. CURRENT AIR QUALITY See air-quality categories, PM2.5 concentrations and observation times from government monitors. Explore local readings and charts, or browse cities and regions across Australia, including Western Australia. THE NEXT 48 HOURS Compare research forecasts from NASA GEOS-CF, Copernicus CAMS and FMI SILAM. See forecast categories and peak concentrations, with differences between models shown clearly. FIRES NEAR YOUR PLACES View reported fires, agency warnings and planned or registered burns. Choose the distance that matters to you, with higher warning levels prioritised in nearby fire lists. Explore fire information alongside satellite hotspots and forecast layers on the map. NOTIFICATIONS YOU CONTROL Watch saved places for new fire reports, or choose official warnings and smoke notices only. Routine planned burns are optional. You can also set a PM2.5 threshold for air-quality notifications. CONDITIONS AT A GLANCE Choose a small Home Screen widget for current air quality, or a medium or large widget for current conditions and the forecast. No account is required. You can select places manually without enabling device location. BushfireSmoke Australia is an independent information service. PM2.5 measures fine particles from many sources and does not identify smoke from a particular fire. Research forecasts describe total PM2.5 and are not official forecasts. Data coverage and update times vary by source. This is not an emergency-warning or health-advice service. Follow your state or territory emergency service and health authority. In an emergency, call Triple Zero (000).
