Frequently Asked Questions

Is air quality bad in Quinta Mazatlan right now?

On 9 August 2026, overall air quality in Quinta Mazatlan is poor. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 69.4/100. Pollution peaks around 4:00 AM (PM10: 69.4/100).

When is air pollution at its worst in Quinta Mazatlan?

This landmark in McAllen sees air quality shift through the year, as the mildest, cleanest stretch typically falls in spring or autumn; by contrast, long, hot summers bring the highest ozone risk, especially across the major urban corridors. Dust from West Texas can occasionally drift across the state and add to particulate levels.

Are air quality levels in Quinta Mazatlan 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.

Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?

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.
