Jerusalem's air quality reflects the Judean Hills' elevated ridge position at 786 metres surrounded by the Judean Desert and Mediterranean coastal plain, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the tourism, construction, and government corridor contributing local sources. The Mediterranean sea breeze provides afternoon ventilation on most days, while windblown Saharan dust during khamsin events delivers elevated PM10 and the surrounding hills create topographic variation, generally maintaining moderate Levant highland capital readings throughout most of the year.
