Jelgava's air quality reflects the flat Latvian Zemgale plain at the Lielupe river, with vehicle traffic on the A8 and the surrounding food processing, sugar manufacturing, and university operations contributing local sources. Baltic westerlies generally provide reasonable ventilation on most days, while winter residential wood and heating oil burning generates seasonal PM2.5 elevation and the flat terrain allows reasonable dispersal, generally maintaining Jelgava among Latvia's more moderate provincial urban environments throughout the year.
