When is air pollution at its worst in Burgess Hill?
Here's the thing about Burgess Hill: air quality has a clear seasonal rhythm. Summer sunshine can drive up ozone locally, though overall air generally moves and clears more freely than in winter. Come winter, NO₂ and PM2.5 usually creep up, as heating and calmer air let M4 traffic emissions linger rather than disperse. Spring and autumn usually sit somewhere in between, so it's really the extremes of the year worth watching.
Are air quality levels in Burgess 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. 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.
