From the second half of February, a slight improvement became noticeable, although fluctuations still occurred. The days around 20 February saw a rise in air pollution again, possibly due to low wind and temperature inversions.
After 23 February, we saw a clear recovery in air quality, with 25 and 27 February even recording the best air values of the entire month. This may be related to changing meteorological conditions, such as more wind and precipitation that removed polluting particles from the air.
