Dust & air-quality forecast for Dubai

Dubai sits on the Arabian Gulf coast, a fast-moving hub of aviation, logistics, tourism, and large-scale construction built on a desert climate. Dust reaches the city both locally, raised from surrounding sand and active construction sites, and regionally, carried in on the shamal winds that sweep across the Gulf during the warmer months. For a city running one of the world's busiest airports and hosting outdoor events year-round, a hazardous-air day is a scheduling problem as much as a health one — flight operations, construction crews, and waterfront venues all depend on knowing what's coming.

Nafas reads Copernicus CAMS's atmospheric forecast for Dubai's coordinates twice a day, cross-checked against Sentinel-5P satellite readings and public ground-station data where available, and turns the next 48 hours into a plain call: what's likely to happen, and what to do about it. The live numbers above update automatically — no rebuild required.
