Medellín and the Valle de Aburrá have experienced a significant deterioration in air quality, with ten monitoring stations reporting orange alerts, indicating potential health risks for sensitive groups. This decline is attributed to recent forest fires and high temperatures that hinder the dispersion of pollutants. The situation has prompted discussions on possible restrictions for businesses and vehicle use to mitigate the impact.
Medellín’s Air Quality Deteriorates Further, Ten Stations Report Orange Alerts
Since 2018, I have lived in Medellín. My role as a digital nomad over the past decade initially brought me to the city, and I quickly became fond of it during a three-month stay. Beyond the pleasant climate, I appreciate Medellín's green environment and the nearby charming villages with unique microclimates. My interests include travel, exploring diverse cuisines, and studying history. I hope this website will enable me to share my experiences and offer insights to those curious about Medellín and Colombia.
