When is air pollution at its worst in Östermalm?

Does air quality in Östermalm vary by season? Cold, still winter days are when pollutant levels are most likely to climb, mainly from heating and traffic rather than any single major source. The changeable spring weather generally keeps pollutant levels lower than in winter, even as pollen becomes more relevant. The year's most consistently good air usually falls in summer, when heating season has ended and ventilation improves. Autumn is a transitional period: as the heating season resumes in September and October, occasional calm evenings can again trap wood-smoke locally. The seasonal swing here is fairly pronounced, typical of central Swedish towns away from the immediate coast.

Are air quality levels in Östermalm based on measurements or forecasts?

It is forecasts derived by downscaling forecasts provided by EU’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) by taking into account local conditions such as traffic patterns. CAMS bases its forecast on satellite measurements of particles and chemical compounds in the atmosphere. Airmine’s services were developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team.
