The M62 sees the heaviest traffic, and that shows up clearly in local roadside monitoring. The air quality picture in Yeovil reflects a typical Somerset town, with traffic emissions and local commercial activity as key contributors. The region's typical south-westerlies 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 Yeovil?
Ask a local in Yeovil and they'll tell you air quality changes noticeably from season to season. Winter mornings can be the trickiest, with cold, still conditions trapping M62 traffic fumes and smoke from home fires close to the ground. By summer, ozone tends to rise on bright days, while better ventilation generally keeps particulate and NO₂ levels lower than winter. Spring and autumn are typically the easiest months, air-quality-wise, for most residents.
Are air quality levels in Yeovil 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.
Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?
Airmine’s forecast uses CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) as its background atmospheric model. While CAMS includes wildfire emissions, these are derived from satellite observations and are not available in real time. During rapidly evolving wildfire events, there may therefore be a delay before increased emissions are incorporated into the model. As a result, the forecast may temporarily underestimate PM₂.₅ and other pollutants associated with wildfire smoke.
During rapidly evolving wildfire events, CAMS may lag by approximately 1–2 days before increased wildfire emissions are fully represented, which can lead to temporary underestimation of PM₂.₅ concentrations in Airmine’s forecast.
