Worst air pollution Estadio Martínez Valero - Elche, today and tomorrow

On 9 August 2026, overall air quality in Estadio Martínez Valero is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 34.9/100. Pollution peaks around 5:00 PM (O3: 34.9/100).

On 10 August 2026, air quality conditions in Estadio Martínez Valero will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at fair at 37.6/100. Pollution peaks around 5:00 PM (O3: 37.6/100).

How do the seasons affect air quality in Estadio Martínez Valero? December through February is often the toughest stretch, driven by temperature inversions that keep exhaust and heating smoke from dispersing on still days. Conditions tend to ease in spring, as more active weather systems bring the wind and rain needed to disperse ground-level pollution. Summer's intense heat and sunshine create ideal conditions for ozone formation, sometimes overshadowing the lower traffic volumes typical of the season. As autumn progresses, cooler temperatures and more frequent rain tend to bring air quality back toward its yearly average. Coastal sea breezes here usually aid dispersal, but summer visitor traffic and periodic dust intrusions from North Africa can still cause spikes.

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.
