Adeje's air quality benefits from the consistent northeast trade winds providing reliable Atlantic ventilation across the southern Tenerife volcanic landscape, with vehicle traffic on the TF-1 motorway and the concentrated Costa Adeje resort development representing the primary local sources. The Teide volcano's dramatic highland backdrop creates topographic variation, while Saharan dust intrusions periodically deliver elevated PM10 across the archipelago and the outstanding coastal trade wind exposure generally maintains good conditions.

When is air pollution at its worst in Adeje?

How does air quality change throughout the year in Adeje? Air quality often reaches its yearly low in the depths of winter, when still, cold air holds local emissions from traffic and heating close to ground level. Spring generally sees a gradual recovery, driven by more frequent rain showers and stronger breezes that prevent pollutants from settling. Summer can bring periodic wildfire smoke on top of the usual ozone build-up from intense heat and sunshine. Autumn usually sees a steady return to cleaner conditions as the ozone-favouring heat of summer fades and rainfall picks up. Here, the steady trade winds generally keep air quality stable across the year, aside from periodic calima events that bring dust from the Sahara.

Are air quality levels in Adeje 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.
