When is air pollution at its worst in Puerto Banús?
How does air quality change throughout the year in Puerto Banús? January is frequently the most difficult month, with cold stagnant air allowing wood-smoke and exhaust to build up instead of clearing. Spring is typically a transitional season, as milder, windier weather starts clearing out the pollutants that accumulate during winter's calm spells. Summer can bring periodic wildfire smoke on top of the usual ozone build-up from intense heat and sunshine. Autumn typically starts mild and can still see occasional ozone or dust episodes before rain and cooler temperatures gradually restore cleaner conditions. Southern Spain's high summer temperatures, combined with periodic dust blown in from North Africa, tend to sharpen the seasonal contrasts here.
Are air quality levels in Puerto Banús 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.
