Air quality in Newry is shaped by its location in Newry, Mourne and Down, where vehicle traffic and everyday urban activity dominate local sources. The A6 sees the heaviest traffic, and that shows up clearly in local roadside monitoring. Northwesterly winds off the coast 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 Newry?
If you're tracking air quality in Newry, 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. The coldest months usually bring the worst readings, as heating and temperature inversions keep main road emissions from dispersing normally. Spring and autumn are typically the easiest months, air-quality-wise, for most residents.
Are air quality levels in Newry 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.
