Ciudad Benito Juárez's air quality reflects the greater Monterrey metropolitan area's southeastern corridor in the Sierra Madre Oriental basin, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the manufacturing, residential, and commercial character contributing local sources. The extraordinary mountain enclosure creates severe winter inversions, while the Monterrey metropolitan industrial background maintains moderate to elevated northeastern Mexican mountain basin readings throughout most of the year.

Are air quality levels in Ciudad Benito Juárez 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.
