When is air pollution at its worst in Fernando Buesa Arena?

What is the yearly air quality pattern like in Fernando Buesa Arena? January is frequently the most difficult month, with cold stagnant air allowing wood-smoke and exhaust to build up instead of clearing. Spring generally sees a gradual recovery, driven by more frequent rain showers and stronger breezes that prevent pollutants from settling. The long, hot days of summer favour ozone build-up, which can spike on the stillest, sunniest afternoons. The first rains of autumn typically help clear out any lingering summer dust or ozone, setting up milder conditions ahead of winter. Proximity to the Atlantic brings enough rain and wind through most of the year to limit how long pollution episodes last here.

Are air quality levels in Fernando Buesa Arena 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.
