When is air pollution at its worst in Batley?
Seasons make a real difference to air quality in Batley, more than most people realise. Through the colder months, readings near the M5 often rise, since chimney smoke and stagnant air stop pollutants clearing away. By summer, ozone tends to rise on bright days, while better ventilation generally keeps particulate and NO₂ levels lower than winter. Spring and autumn don't usually cause much concern, sitting comfortably between winter's peak and summer's ozone spikes.
Are air quality levels in Batley 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.
