• Today : Mainly Low air pollution is expected across the UK for Saturday, although isolated pockets of Moderate air pollution are possible. These are most likely across southern England due to the ongoing risk of elevated Saharan dust.
• Tomorrow : Risk of Moderate to possibly locally High air pollution across England and parts of Wales during Sunday, with the continued potential influence of elevated Saharan dust. Otherwise Low air pollution.
• Outlook : Risk of Moderate to potentially locally High air pollution at first across parts of England, thereafter air pollution levels become Low as cleaner Atlantic air spreads east across the UK.
