This pearling and tourism town's air quality is distinctively shaped by fine red pindan dust, a well-known local feature of the Kimberley landscape, alongside dry-season savanna burning smoke and the high humidity and cyclone risk of the November–April wet season. Wet-season humidity brings a heightened mould and fungal spore risk in this monsoonal climate, while the long dry season from May to October is generally clear and dust-prone rather than smoky, aside from occasional savanna burning haze drifting in from surrounding pastoral country. Coastal sea breezes usually keep Broome's air well ventilated outside of cyclone events.

Are air quality levels in Broome based on measurements or forecasts?
It is forecasts derived by downscaling forecasts provided by EU’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) by taking into account local conditions such as traffic patterns. CAMS bases its forecast on satellite measurements of particles and chemical compounds in the atmosphere. Airmine’s services were developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team.
