Tabūk's air quality reflects the flat northwestern Saudi Arabian Tabuk plateau at 768 metres in the Hejaz-Tihama transition zone, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the military, government, and construction corridor contributing local sources. Windblown Hejaz Desert dust generates elevated PM10 during dust storm events, while the elevated plateau position aids dispersal on most days and Tabuk generally maintains moderate to good northwestern Saudi Arabian plateau readings throughout most of the year.

Are air quality levels in Tabūk 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.
