Today, Denver’s air quality is generally considered good, with some periods of moderate levels, primarily due to fine particulate matter. For Saturday, November 1, 2025, there are no current air quality advisories issued for the Denver metro region, and the winter High Pollution Advisory Program has just begun. Officials will now monitor daily pollution levels more closely through winter to protect residents’s health[5][6].
The Air Quality Index (AQI) for Denver early this morning is in the good range, meaning pollution poses little or no risk for most people. Fine particulate matter, known as PM2.5, is the main concern this time of year. PM2.5 consists of tiny particles from sources like vehicles, fireplaces, and atmospheric conditions that can penetrate the respiratory system. While levels are not high enough to warrant an Action Day or burning restrictions as of now, individuals who are unusually sensitive to air pollution—such as those with chronic respiratory conditions, young children, or the elderly—should still monitor air quality forecasts[4][5].
The air in Denver during November is typically influenced by colder temperatures and atmospheric inversions, which trap pollutants close to the ground and can create the familiar “Brown Cloud.” This haze is made up of particulate matter and can impair visibility and affect respiratory health. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) issues daily air pollution advisories, calling for voluntary driving reductions or indoor burning restrictions whenever conditions exceed standards[3].
Ninety percent of the days so far this year in Denver have been within safe air quality limits, indicating a very low health risk for most residents. However, occasional spikes in pollution—most commonly during stagnant weather or when wildfire smoke drifts from other states—can temporarily elevate particulate matter and ozone, prompting caution for sensitive groups[2][3][4].
Overall, the city’s air is safe for outdoor activity today, but the start of winter could bring more frequent advisory periods, particularly on calm days when pollution builds up. Denver residents are encouraged to stay informed through state forecasts, reduce unnecessary burning, and help limit emissions on poor air days to protect community health[3][5].
