Worst air pollution Barranco del Infierno - Adeje, today and tomorrow

On 19 July 2026, overall air quality in Barranco del Infierno is fair. O3 is the main pollutant at 27.0/100. Pollution peaks around 1:00 PM (PM10: 54.7/100).

On 20 July 2026, air quality conditions in Barranco del Infierno will be similar to today, with O3 forecast at fair at 31.0/100. Pollution peaks around 2:00 AM (PM10: 52.1/100).

How do the seasons affect air quality in Barranco del Infierno? Cold, windless spells in December and January are usually when conditions dip most, as heating emissions and traffic fumes accumulate under a stable atmosphere. Spring is typically when conditions begin improving, as increasing wind speeds help disperse traffic emissions before they can accumulate. Summer's intense heat and sunshine create ideal conditions for ozone formation, sometimes overshadowing the lower traffic volumes typical of the season. The transition into autumn generally brings cleaner conditions, as more frequent rainfall and lower temperatures curb ozone formation. The islands' mild, trade-wind-driven climate means seasonal swings are gentler than on the mainland, but calima dust events can occur in any month.

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.

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.
