London Air Pollution Summary: Moderate
Moderate air pollution forecast valid from Friday 19 April 11:00 to end of Sunday 21 April GMT.
Easter Weekend will stay dry with some long sunny spells. Temperatures generally remaining in the very warm range for the time of year.
The settled weather in Greater London will continue, although winds will be stronger than of late but still from the East. The continuing air path is expected to import particulate pollution from the Continent but with altitudes higher this import will be less. This will combine with London's local emissions.
It's possible that 'Moderate' levels of PM10 and PM2.5 particulate will be reached at some locations.
The long sunny periods, high temperatures and East winds may also bring additional Ozone precursors allowing for photo-chemical generation of Ozone to take place. Therefore 'Moderate' Ozone may be reached at some locations.
Air pollution should remain 'Low' through the forecast period for the following pollutants:
Nitrogen Dioxide
Sulphur Dioxide
Air Quality Pollution Levels
Nitrogen Dioxide Low
Ozone Moderate
PM10 Particulate Moderate
PM2.5 Particulate Moderate
Sulphur Dioxide Low
