Commuter traffic feeding onto the M20 adds a further, consistent contribution to local readings. Redditch's position in Worcestershire means air quality is mostly determined by local road traffic and the compact scale of the centre. Thanks to the area's changeable Atlantic weather, pollution rarely lingers for long, which keeps average readings fairly unremarkable by UK standards.

When is air pollution at its worst in Redditch?
The shoulder seasons generally bring the mildest readings of the year. Ask a local in Redditch and they'll tell you air quality changes noticeably from season to season. Through the colder months, readings near the M20 often rise, since chimney smoke and stagnant air stop pollutants clearing away. Summer brings a different issue — stronger sunlight can push up ozone levels on hot, sunny days, even though traffic pollution itself often disperses more easily.
Are air quality levels in Redditch 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.
