experienced mostly good air quality throughout May, with only a few Moderate AQI days recorded ✨🟩.
On May 7 and 15, warm temperatures combined with strong sunlight and low humidity created favorable conditions for ozone formation. Later in the month, on May 26 and 27, elevated levels of particulate matter (PM) 2.5 microns in size were associated with dust moving into the region on southeasterly winds.
Overall, air quality remained good for most of the month.

Happy Friday!

The April Air Quality Index (AQI) summary is here! 🌷🌍
Broward County experienced mostly good air quality throughout April, with a few moderate AQI days linked to atmospheric conditions that supported ozone formation and another day during which we noted elevated PM2.5 levels.
On April 3 through 5, weather conditions supported ozone formation across the county. Later in the month, elevated PM2.5 levels were detected near our regulatory-grade air monitoring site in Pompano on April 21 due to an unknown source of particulate matter.
