Environmental pollution indicated by the presence of PM2.5 particulate matter varies based on prevailing atmospheric conditions described certain meteorological variables. Consequently, it is important to understand behavior in areas such as Aburrá Valley, which experiences recurrent events twice a year. This study examines specific variables and Valley. By using statistical analysis tools correlation coefficients, principal component (PCA), multiple linear regression models, research identifies relationships between daily cycles temperature, rainfall, radiation, wind speed direction. Datasets were analyzed considering periods before after COVID-19 lockdown (pre-pandemic pandemic, respectively), also analyzed. Furthermore, this work considers variables, contrasting pre-pandemic pandemic periods. characterizes diurnal their relationship with PM2.5. There are consistent patterns among boundary layer (ABL) height, solar whereas precipitation relative humidity show opposite behavior. exhibits similar frequency functions during both daytime nighttime, regardless rainfall. An inverse noted levels ABL height at different times day. Moreover, PCA results that first explains around 60% total variance hydrometeorological data. The second PC 10%, rest distributed other three eight PCs. In sense, there no significant difference two PCAs data from period period. Multiple indicates dependence temperature radiation across application Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) our dataset yielded promising results, reflecting complex concentrations. metrics obtained GAM follows: Mean Squared Error (MSE) 98.04, Root (RMSE) 9.90, R-squared (R2) 0.24, Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) 110,051.34, Bayesian (BIC) 110,140.63. comparison, model exhibited slightly higher MSE (100.49), RMSE (10.02), lower (0.22), AIC BIC values 110,407.45 110,460.67, respectively. Although improvement performance over not conclusive, they indicate better fit for complexity dynamics influencing levels. These findings underscore intricate interplay factors concentration, reinforcing necessity advanced modeling techniques environmental studies. presents new insights enhance diagnosis, understanding, pollution, thereby supporting informed decision-making strengthening management efforts.
