Latest UK Air Pollution Forecast

Air pollution is expected to remain Low in all areas for the next 24 hours as clean air masses from the north Atlantic and Arctic continue to affect the UK.


It is forecasted that dust from the Sahara may reach southern parts of the UK tomorrow. However due to its elevated altitude it is not expected to affect surface pollution levels. 




The situation is expected to remain unchanged for the following 2 days.

Forecast valid until 17th May 2012
