When is air pollution at its worst in Sanxenxo?

When is air quality typically worst in Sanxenxo? The coldest months usually see the year's poorest conditions, since calm anticyclonic weather holds local traffic and wood-burning pollution near street level. Conditions generally start to recover in spring, as increasing wind and rainfall break up the stagnant air masses typical of winter. Summer heat and intense sunlight drive photochemical ozone production, which can push afternoon air quality readings higher despite reduced winter-style pollution sources. Early autumn can still bring warm, stagnant spells before the season's returning rain and wind begin clearing the air. Being close to the Atlantic, this area benefits from regular rainfall and wind that help keep pollution from building up for long.

Are air quality levels in Sanxenxo 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.
