Rush-hour queues near the M1 are usually when readings climb the most. The air quality picture in Malvern reflects a typical Worcestershire town, with traffic emissions and local commercial activity as key contributors. The dominant maritime airflow do most of the work keeping things in check, more so than any local policy or infrastructure change.

When is air pollution at its worst in Malvern?
Spring and autumn tend to be the calmer, more moderate stretches by comparison. Seasons make a real difference to air quality in Malvern, more than most people realise. Winter tends to be worst, with wood burning, home heating, and still, cold air trapping traffic fumes from the M1 closer to ground level. Warmer months swap one problem for another — less smoke and heating pollution, but more ozone on the sunniest days.
Are air quality levels in Malvern 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.
