Afula's air quality reflects the flat Israeli Jezreel Valley position at 60 metres between the Galilee and Mount Carmel ranges, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the agricultural, services, and residential character contributing local sources. Mediterranean sea breezes provide afternoon ventilation through the valley corridor, while the Galilee hills create topographic variation and Afula generally maintains moderate to good Israeli Jezreel Valley readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Afula?

Onshore breezes usually help clear the air, but pollution can build up when winds are light. Areas further inland without this ventilation tend to fare worse.
Are air quality levels in Afula 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.
