Al Ḩawīyah's air quality reflects the flat Saudi Arabian Makkah region's position in the Hejaz, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the agricultural and government corridor contributing local sources. Windblown Hejaz Desert dust generates elevated PM10 during dust storm events, while the flat Arabian terrain allows reasonable dispersal and Al Hawiyah generally maintains moderate to elevated central Saudi Arabian Hejaz readings throughout most of the year.
