Being part of Buckinghamshire, Aylesbury sees an air quality profile that's largely down to traffic and general town-centre activity. Moist Atlantic fronts usually ensure decent dispersal, so levels generally stay within the moderate range typical of UK towns. The M3 sees the heaviest traffic, and that shows up clearly in local roadside monitoring.

When is air pollution at its worst in Aylesbury?
Air quality in Aylesbury isn't the same all year round — it really shifts with the seasons. Summer's more of a mixed bag: ozone can spike in strong sun, but overall dispersion tends to be better than the depths of winter. Once the heating goes on and the air turns still, pollution from the M3 and nearby chimneys tends to build up rather than clear. The shoulder seasons generally bring the mildest readings of the year.
Are air quality levels in Aylesbury 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.
