San Ramon's air quality reflects the Diablo Valley's position in the San Francisco Bay Area's eastern corridor, with vehicle emissions from I-680 the primary local source. The San Ramon Valley's partial topographic enclosure between the Diablo Range and the Las Trampas hills creates periodic temperature inversion episodes, while summer wildfire smoke from surrounding East Bay hills is an increasingly frequent seasonal concern throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in San Ramon?

Air quality in San Ramon shifts across the year: the cleanest air usually comes in winter, when storms periodically flush pollution out of the basin, but from August into October, wildfire smoke can add sharp particulate spikes on top of the usual summer ozone. Coastal breezes offer some relief compared to inland valley locations that see heavier smog buildup.

Are air quality levels in San Ramon 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.
