In Nuneaton, pollution levels don't stay flat — winter and summer look pretty different. In deep winter, a lack of wind lets A90 traffic fumes and woodsmoke settle instead of blowing through. Come summer, it's ozone rather than particulates that's the bigger concern, especially on still, sunny days. Spring and autumn are typically the easiest months, air-quality-wise, for most residents.

Are air quality levels in Nuneaton 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.
