When is air pollution at its worst in Abergele?

Spring and autumn usually sit somewhere in between, so it's really the extremes of the year worth watching. Here's the thing about Abergele: air quality has a clear seasonal rhythm. Once the heating goes on and the air turns still, pollution from the A40 and nearby chimneys tends to build up rather than clear. Summer sunshine can drive up ozone locally, though overall air generally moves and clears more freely than in winter.

Are air quality levels in Abergele 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.
