Zhanjiang's air quality benefits from its exceptional Leizhou Peninsula South China Sea coastal position, with consistent South China Sea trade winds providing reliable maritime ventilation. Vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the steel, petrochemical, and port operations contribute local sources, while the outstanding coastal exposure and warm tropical maritime climate generally maintain Zhanjiang among Guangdong's more moderately ventilated coastal provincial cities throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Zhanjiang?

Onshore breezes usually help clear the air, but pollution can build up when winds are light. This coastal advantage is less pronounced during still, high-pressure weather.
Are air quality levels in Zhanjiang 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.
