Skegness's air quality reflects its position within Lincolnshire, with local traffic and the town's built-up core as the main contributors. The dominant maritime airflow tend to disperse pollutants reasonably well, keeping readings close to typical UK small-town levels. Traffic on the A55 is the most significant local emissions source, especially at peak times.

When is air pollution at its worst in Skegness?
If you're tracking air quality in Skegness, expect it to move around quite a bit through the year. Summer sunshine can drive up ozone locally, though overall air generally moves and clears more freely than in winter. Once the heating goes on and the air turns still, pollution from the A55 and nearby chimneys tends to build up rather than clear. Spring and autumn are typically the easiest months, air-quality-wise, for most residents.
Are air quality levels in Skegness 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.
