Being part of Northamptonshire, Daventry sees an air quality profile that's largely down to traffic and general town-centre activity. Traffic on the A46 is the most significant local emissions source, especially at peak times. Inland breezes from the surrounding countryside usually ensure decent dispersal, so levels generally stay within the moderate range typical of UK towns.

When is air pollution at its worst in Daventry?

There's a clear yearly cycle to air quality in Daventry if you look closely. Summer brings a different issue — stronger sunlight can push up ozone levels on hot, sunny days, even though traffic pollution itself often disperses more easily. Through the colder months, readings near the A46 often rise, since chimney smoke and stagnant air stop pollutants clearing away. The shoulder seasons generally bring the mildest readings of the year.

Are air quality levels in Daventry 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.
