Musina lies roughly 180 km north-northeast of Polokwane. Vehicle traffic and citrus and subtropical farming operations shape most of the local air quality picture at Musina, set within the surrounding bushveld. Winter's dry, still conditions can let dust and smoke linger, while summer thunderstorms and stronger winds generally restore clearer conditions across the district. Much of the surrounding bushveld sees broadly the same seasonal pattern.

Are air quality levels in Musina 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.
