Worst air pollution La Macarena - Sevilla, today and tomorrow

On 19 July 2026, overall air quality in La Macarena is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 38.8/100. Pollution peaks around 8:00 PM (O3: 38.8/100).

On 20 July 2026, air quality conditions in La Macarena will be similar to today, with NO2 forecast at fair at 35.5/100. Pollution peaks around 8:00 PM (O3: 46.9/100).

When is air quality typically worst in La Macarena? The coldest months usually see the year's poorest conditions, since calm anticyclonic weather holds local traffic and wood-burning pollution near street level. March through May tends to see steady improvement, with more unsettled weather patterns helping disperse traffic and heating pollution. Summer brings its own challenge in the form of ground-level ozone, which forms readily under strong sunshine and high temperatures, particularly during heatwaves. The first rains of autumn typically help clear out any lingering summer dust or ozone, setting up milder conditions ahead of winter. Southern Spain's high summer temperatures, combined with periodic dust blown in from North Africa, tend to sharpen the seasonal contrasts here.

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.

Airmine’s forecast uses CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) as its background atmospheric model. While CAMS includes wildfire emissions, these are derived from satellite observations and are not available in real time. During rapidly evolving wildfire events, there may therefore be a delay before increased emissions are incorporated into the model. As a result, the forecast may temporarily underestimate PM₂.₅ and other pollutants associated with wildfire smoke.

During rapidly evolving wildfire events, CAMS may lag by approximately 1–2 days before increased wildfire emissions are fully represented, which can lead to temporary underestimation of PM₂.₅ concentrations in Airmine’s forecast.
