Almería's air quality benefits from its southeastern Spain position with consistent Mediterranean and Poniente westerly winds providing reliable ventilation. The primary local concerns are dust from the surrounding plastic greenhouse agriculture of the Campo de Dalías — one of Europe's largest greenhouse concentrations — which contributes elevated PM10 from plastic film, soil dust, and pesticide particulates, alongside vehicle traffic on the A-7, while Saharan dust intrusions from North Africa periodically affect the entire southeastern Spanish coast.

When is air pollution at its worst in Almería?
What is the yearly air quality pattern like in Almería? The year's lowest air quality readings tend to cluster in winter, when high-pressure systems suppress the mixing that would otherwise clear away exhaust and smoke. The transition into spring usually brings cleaner air, as more frequent rain and wind reduce the buildup of local pollution. Summer's intense heat and sunshine create ideal conditions for ozone formation, sometimes overshadowing the lower traffic volumes typical of the season. Conditions generally improve through autumn as cooling temperatures reduce ozone formation and returning rains help disperse remaining pollutants. Being close to North Africa, this area is more exposed to Saharan dust intrusions, which can add to the seasonal pattern described above.
Are air quality levels in Almería 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.
