Tel Aviv-Yafo's air quality benefits from its exceptional Mediterranean Sea coastal position, with consistent Mediterranean westerlies and the famous sea breezes providing reliable maritime ventilation. Vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the technology, financial, and commercial corridor contribute local sources, while the outstanding Mediterranean coastal exposure and the Yarkon River provide natural ventilation and Tel Aviv generally maintains among the Levant's more moderately ventilated major coastal metropolitan cities throughout most of the year.
