Al Aḩad al Masāriḩah's air quality reflects the flat Saudi Arabian Jizan Province coastal plain adjacent to Yemen, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the fishing, agricultural, and cross-border corridor contributing local sources. Consistent Red Sea northerly winds provide maritime ventilation, while the conflict in neighbouring Yemen contributes regional smoke on southerly winds and Al Ahad generally maintains moderate to elevated southwestern Saudi Arabian coastal border readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Al Aḩad al Masāriḩah?

Pollution in Al Aḩad al Masāriḩah typically rises when traffic on the surrounding roads, agricultural burning, as well as fishing fleet activity combine, especially once maritime winds die down. Onshore breezes usually help clear the air, but pollution can build up when winds are light. This coastal advantage is less pronounced during still, high-pressure weather.

Are air quality levels in Al Aḩad al Masāriḩah 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.
