Bari's air quality reflects the southern Italian Adriatic coast's position, with consistent Adriatic sea breezes generally providing good maritime ventilation across this Puglia regional capital. The port and industrial zone contribute localised emissions, while vehicle traffic on the surrounding tangenziale ring road is the primary urban source. The flat Puglia plain generally allows reasonable dispersal, while summer anticyclonic conditions can allow ozone to accumulate from vehicle and agricultural emissions.

When is air pollution at its worst in Bari?

In Bari, reduced air quality is most noticeable when local tree and grass allergens peaks, and on days affected by the port and industrial zone contribute localised emissions, while vehicle traffic on the nearby; the remainder of the year typically brings clearer, more consistent conditions.

Are air quality levels in Bari 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.

Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?

Airmine’s forecast uses CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) as its background atmospheric model. While CAMS includes wildfire emissions, these are derived from satellite observations and are not available in real time. During rapidly evolving wildfire events, there may therefore be a delay before increased emissions are incorporated into the model. As a result, the forecast may temporarily underestimate PM₂.₅ and other pollutants associated with wildfire smoke.

During rapidly evolving wildfire events, CAMS may lag by approximately 1–2 days before increased wildfire emissions are fully represented, which can lead to temporary underestimation of PM₂.₅ concentrations in Airmine’s forecast.
