What is the yearly air quality pattern like in Getafe? Winter is generally the most challenging season, since low wind speeds and temperature inversions prevent traffic and wood-smoke pollution from dispersing. 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. Autumn typically starts mild and can still see occasional ozone or dust episodes before rain and cooler temperatures gradually restore cleaner conditions. The interior's dry continental climate means winter inversions and summer heat both tend to hit harder than along the coast.

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.
