The latest reading for Kasese shows an AQI of 61 (Moderate), observed Sep 28, 05:00 local time via Open-Meteo / CAMS, US EPA index. Unusually sensitive people should consider limiting long outdoor exertion.

How is Kasese's tree cover and air quality measured?

Tree cover is measured from Sentinel-2 L2A (ESA Copernicus) via Earth Search satellite imagery at 10 m detail across a 2 km radius around Kasese; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover. Air quality comes from ground monitoring stations via OpenAQ where one reports nearby, and otherwise, as here, from the Open-Meteo / CAMS model, which may differ from street-level monitors.
