When is air pollution at its worst in Albaicín?
What is the yearly air quality pattern like in Albaicín? Air quality often reaches its yearly low in the depths of winter, when still, cold air holds local emissions from traffic and heating close to ground level. Spring generally sees a gradual recovery, driven by more frequent rain showers and stronger breezes that prevent pollutants from settling. High summer temperatures and strong sun exposure drive ozone levels up, occasionally combined with smoke from nearby wildfires during dry spells. By late autumn, air quality is usually back to more moderate levels, though the first cold snaps can bring an early hint of winter's traffic and heating pollution. 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 Albaicín 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.
