Cagayan de Oro's air quality reflects the Philippine Mindanao Macajalar Bay coastal position, with vehicle density and the port, manufacturing, and vehicle density corridor generating elevated PM2.5 and NOₓ. Consistent Philippine Sea trade winds provide maritime ventilation, while the outstanding coastal exposure generally maintains Cagayan de Oro among Philippine Mindanao's more moderately ventilated major coastal cities throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Cagayan de Oro?
In Cagayan de Oro, road traffic as well as light manufacturing are the main local sources, with conditions worsening when maritime winds die down. Maritime airflow normally ventilates the area well, though calmer spells let levels rise. This coastal advantage is less pronounced during still, high-pressure weather.
Are air quality levels in Cagayan de Oro 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.
