In Berja, Saharan dust intrusions and dust and plastic residue from the greenhouse belt are the main local influences on air quality. Levels vary mainly with wind and dust rather than traffic. Saharan dust (calima) reaches this area more often than almost anywhere else on the mainland.

When is air pollution at its worst in Berja?
Does air quality in Berja vary by season? The winter months typically bring the weakest air quality of the year, as calm anticyclonic conditions trap vehicle and heating pollution near the surface. Spring is typically when conditions begin improving, as increasing wind speeds help disperse traffic emissions before they can accumulate. The long, hot days of summer favour ozone build-up, which can spike on the stillest, sunniest afternoons. The first rains of autumn typically help clear out any lingering summer dust or ozone, setting up milder conditions ahead of winter. Southern Spain's intense summer heat and periodic Saharan dust intrusions add extra pressure on top of the usual seasonal pattern.
Are air quality levels in Berja 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.
