When is air pollution at its worst in Hyde?

The shoulder seasons generally bring the mildest readings of the year. Here's the thing about Hyde: air quality has a clear seasonal rhythm. Come winter, NO₂ and PM2.5 usually creep up, as heating and calmer air let A82 traffic emissions linger rather than disperse. Summer sunshine can drive up ozone locally, though overall air generally moves and clears more freely than in winter.

Are air quality levels in Hyde 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.
