Being part of Norfolk, Great Yarmouth sees an air quality profile that's largely down to traffic and general town-centre activity. Commuter traffic feeding onto the M8 adds a further, consistent contribution to local readings. Thanks to prevailing westerlies, pollution rarely lingers for long, which keeps average readings fairly unremarkable by UK standards.

When is air pollution at its worst in Great Yarmouth?
If you're tracking air quality in Great Yarmouth, expect it to move around quite a bit through the year. Come summer, it's ozone rather than particulates that's the bigger concern, especially on still, sunny days. In deep winter, a lack of wind lets M8 traffic fumes and woodsmoke settle instead of blowing through. The shoulder seasons generally bring the mildest readings of the year.
Are air quality levels in Great Yarmouth 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.
