Jozini lies roughly 290 km north-northeast of Durban. Air quality at Jozini benefits from its position along the KwaZulu-Natal coast, where onshore sea breezes provide fairly consistent natural ventilation through the year. Vehicle traffic and conservation and tourism activity remain the main emission sources, generally kept moderate by the steady coastal wind. This mirrors what's typical for towns along this stretch of coast.

When is air pollution at its worst in Jozini?
Hot, still summer days are the main exception to otherwise steady air quality at Jozini, when haze and emissions from conservation and tourism activity briefly build up before the sea breeze clears them. Winter typically brings the year's most reliable ventilation and clearest conditions, a seasonal pattern typical of the broader KwaZulu-Natal coast.
Are air quality levels in Jozini 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.
Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?
Airmine’s forecast uses CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) as its background atmospheric model. While CAMS includes wildfire emissions, these are derived from satellite observations and are not available in real time. During rapidly evolving wildfire events, there may therefore be a delay before increased emissions are incorporated into the model. As a result, the forecast may temporarily underestimate PM₂.₅ and other pollutants associated with wildfire smoke.
During rapidly evolving wildfire events, CAMS may lag by approximately 1–2 days before increased wildfire emissions are fully represented, which can lead to temporary underestimation of PM₂.₅ concentrations in Airmine’s forecast.
