The South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) now has two ways to
receive day-in-advance air quality forecasts by email: the EPA-sponsored
EnviroFlash program and the Basin-wide Forecast (PDF version). Please see
the list below to determine which best meets your needs. The forecasts are
for the next day and include the same-day update. Both are issued in the
late morning and contain the predicted Air Quality Index (AQI) level, color code
and pollutant of most concern. Both emails services are free.
For a map showing AQMD forecast area boundaries, see
http://www.aqmd.gov/map/MapAQMD2.pdf, or enter your address in the
AQMD Interactive Forecast Map.
