Traffic on the M25 is the most significant local emissions source, especially at peak times. Being part of Derry and Strabane, Derry sees an air quality profile that's largely down to traffic and general town-centre activity. Thanks to southwesterly winds, pollution rarely lingers for long, which keeps average readings fairly unremarkable by UK standards.

When is air pollution at its worst in Royal Portrush Golf Club – Dunluce Links?

Here's the thing about Derry: air quality has a clear seasonal rhythm. By summer, ozone tends to rise on bright days, while better ventilation generally keeps particulate and NO₂ levels lower than winter. Come winter, NO₂ and PM2.5 usually creep up, as heating and calmer air let M25 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 Royal Portrush Golf Club – Dunluce Links 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.

Airmine’s services were developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team.
