Ogbomoso's air quality reflects the flat southwestern Nigeria Yoruba highland savanna at 367 metres, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the vehicle density, charcoal burning, and agricultural corridor generating elevated PM2.5 and black carbon. The tropical wet season's convective rain provides periodic cleansing, while dry season Harmattan dust and agricultural burning elevate PM10 and Ogbomoso generally maintains moderate to elevated southwestern Nigerian Yoruba savanna city readings throughout most of the year.
