Kannankulam's air quality reflects the Kerala coastal position on the Laccadive Sea, with consistent Arabian Sea monsoon breezes providing reliable maritime ventilation. Vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the surrounding residential and fishing operations contribute very modest local sources, while the outstanding coastal exposure and the tropical maritime climate generally maintain good conditions and the Kerala coastal setting provides effective natural ventilation throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Kannankulam?
Kannankulam usually sees its poorest air quality when traffic on the surrounding roads along with harbour and shipping traffic coincide with periods when the drier season sets in. The wet season generally clears the air, while the dry season lets levels build back up. Onshore breezes usually help clear the air, but pollution can build up when winds are light.
Are air quality levels in Kannankulam 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.
