When is air pollution at its worst in Parte Vieja?

What time of year has the cleanest air in Parte Vieja? Winter tends to bring the year's weakest readings, as stagnant, cold air lets heating smoke and vehicle emissions build up rather than clear away. Spring is typically a transitional season, as milder, windier weather starts clearing out the pollutants that accumulate during winter's calm spells. High summer temperatures and strong sun exposure drive ozone levels up, occasionally combined with smoke from nearby wildfires during dry spells. The transition into autumn generally brings cleaner conditions, as more frequent rainfall and lower temperatures curb ozone formation. This region's wetter, windier Atlantic climate generally keeps annual air quality more consistent than in Spain's drier interior and south.

Are air quality levels in Parte Vieja 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.
