When is air pollution at its worst in Wisbech?

Ask a local in Wisbech and they'll tell you air quality changes noticeably from season to season. 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. The coldest months usually bring the worst readings, as heating and temperature inversions keep A82 emissions from dispersing normally. The shoulder seasons generally bring the mildest readings of the year.

Are air quality levels in Wisbech 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.
