Hermosillo - Post Report Question and Answers

What is the air quality like at post (good/moderate/bad)? Are there seasonal air quality issues? Does the air quality have an impact on health?

Air quality is excellent. We can go outside and engage in outdoor activities whenever we want. I am not aware of seasonal air quality issues but people complain about dust and allergies related to that. Air quality has little to no impact on health. - Sep 2024


Generally fine. It's a dusty desert. - Jun 2023


Allergies are bad here for some reason. The AQI is almost always very good, but the pollen from the desert plants have really wreaked havoc on certain people. - Sep 2022


The air can be humid at times and dry other times of the year. Many officers have a air purifier or humidifier in their home to help with the air. - Sep 2022


Air quality is fine, though many of us have bought air filters for our homes. - Aug 2022


I'd assume it's not great, because it's dry and hot. That being said, we've had few problems except with eyes and noses that are probably tired of being in constant air-conditioned buildings. - Aug 2015


I would say moderate. Being in the desert, it is always very dusty and there are a lot of allergens. - Apr 2013
