When is air pollution at its worst in Palma del Río?

What is the yearly air quality pattern like in Palma del Río? 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. March through May tends to see steady improvement, with more unsettled weather patterns helping disperse traffic and heating pollution. Summer's combination of intense sun and high temperatures makes ozone the main concern, occasionally compounded by wildfire smoke during dry, windy spells. As autumn progresses, cooler temperatures and more frequent rain tend to bring air quality back toward its yearly average. This area's proximity to North Africa means Saharan dust episodes can arrive at almost any time of year, layering onto the seasonal pattern.

Are air quality levels in Palma del Río 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.
