Orlando's air quality is generally moderate, shaped by Florida's flat peninsula topography that allows reasonable wind dispersal but provides no barrier to regional ozone formation during intense summer heat. Convention and theme park traffic concentrated in the International Drive corridor contributes localised emissions, while afternoon thunderstorms provide effective daily air washing during the wet season.

When is air pollution at its worst in Orlando?

Orlando follows a fairly predictable seasonal air quality pattern. In short, the wet season's frequent storms generally keep particulate levels lower than in the dry months, whereas dry-season wildfire and prescribed-burn smoke, mainly from late autumn through spring, is the main seasonal concern. Sea breezes help disperse pollution on most days, though smoke from inland fires can still drift into populated areas.

Are air quality levels in Orlando 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.
