Spring and autumn tend to be the calmer, more moderate stretches by comparison.

Are air quality levels in Droitwich Spa 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.
