Al Līth's air quality benefits from its exceptional Red Sea coastal position in the Makkah al Mukarramah Region south of Jeddah, with consistent Red Sea northerly winds providing maritime ventilation. Vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the fishing, port, and agricultural corridor contribute modest local sources, while the outstanding Red Sea coastal exposure and the Hejaz Mountains rising inland create topographic variation and Al Lith generally maintains moderate to good Red Sea coastal city readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Al Līth?
Pollution in Al Līth typically rises when traffic on the surrounding roads, farming and agricultural processing, and shipbuilding and port operations combine, especially once onshore breezes fall calm. Sea breezes typically keep conditions in check, except during still weather. This coastal advantage is less pronounced during still, high-pressure weather.
Are air quality levels in Al Līth 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.
