For much of spring and autumn, things settle into a fairly unremarkable middle ground. In Brierley Hill, pollution levels don't stay flat — winter and summer look pretty different. Winter mornings can be the trickiest, with cold, still conditions trapping M20 traffic fumes and smoke from home fires close to the ground. 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.
Are air quality levels in Brierley Hill 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.
