In Durango, mountain valley air is the main influence on air quality, and generally clean, with wildfire smoke the main seasonal risk. These factors combine to give Durango a fairly typical seasonal air quality pattern for this part of the country. Local topography and prevailing winds both play a role in how quickly conditions change.

When is air pollution at its worst in Durango?
Durango experiences a distinct seasonal swing in air quality, as the shoulder seasons of spring and fall typically offer the most stable, cleanest conditions; by contrast, valley and basin locations can see pollution trapped under cold air for days during winter inversions. Valley and basin locations are especially prone to these winter inversion episodes compared to more exposed, higher terrain.
Are air quality levels in Durango 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.
