Understanding Calima & Your Health
This map aggregates live sensor data to track the movement of “Calima”—a hot, dust-laden wind from the Sahara Desert. The map focus on PM10 and PM2.5 particulates, which are the primary indicators of air quality during a Calima (dust) event. We also use AEMET for any current alerts in the vicinity to give you the most up to date information.
Why it matters: High Calima levels can reduce visibility for travelers and pose respiratory risks for hikers or those with asthma. Use this data to plan your outdoor activities and stay informed on when the dust is expected to clear.
How to read this map: Lower numbers (Green) indicate clear Atlantic air, while higher numbers (Orange/Red) signify heavy dust concentrations.
