Saharan dust entered the region on Monday and will continue to affect Central Texas air quality through today, with fine dust (PM2.5) levels forecast to reach upper "moderate" AQI levels. Unusually sensitive individuals should limit outdoor activity to prevent breathing issues.

Fine dust levels (PM2.5) are forecast to be in the low moderate ⭐ range through the first full week of 2026.
This is due to burning/industrial activity in Mexico & overall light winds and elevated humidity levels.

We're forecast for "Good" ozone days through the holiday weekend, so Central Texans and turkeys can breathe easy! Well, Central Texans, anyway.

We've got "good" days forecast this week through Thursday! 💚
This means that Central Texas air quality poses little to no risk to folks sensitive to air pollutants.

Austin’s air quality improved in 2024, with fewer high ozone and particulate matter days.
Still, rising temps, wildfire smoke, and longer allergy seasons continue to challenge clean air. 🌡️🔥
