Sale's air quality reflects the flat Moroccan Atlantic coastal position on the Bou Regreg River adjacent to Rabat, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the manufacturing, vehicle density, and informal industrial corridor generating elevated PM2.5. Consistent Atlantic westerlies provide maritime ventilation, while windblown Saharan dust during sirocco events elevates PM10 and Salé generally maintains moderate North African Atlantic coastal metropolitan readings similar to the adjacent Rabat corridor throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Sale?

Dust carried on these winds adds substantially to particulate levels. Onshore breezes usually help clear the air, but pollution can build up when winds are light.
Are air quality levels in Sale 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.
