How does air quality change throughout the year in Alhaurín el Grande? 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. During summer, strong sunlight and high temperatures accelerate ozone formation, occasionally offsetting the drop in traffic and heating-related emissions. The first rains of autumn typically help clear out any lingering summer dust or ozone, setting up milder conditions ahead of winter. The region's intense heat and its exposure to Saharan dust crossing the Strait mean conditions here can swing sharply from the seasonal norm.

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.
