The US is experiencing a heat dome / #HeatAlerts in the right half of the lower 48 (July temps). Texas is back in 100s. Yet the NW is damp and cool (like October).

Europe also has a “historic, record-breaking heatwave”, heat dome, and flooding. In the UK, the forecast 32C (90F) is hotter than Athens, Ayia Napa and Ibiza.

Day 7 of moderate air quality and I'm now pretty ill 😢.

#AirQuality #HeatAlert #Asthma

Today : The UK should experience similar wind and weather conditions to much of the past week, helping to give widespread Moderate air pollution levels, perhaps with localised High areas, these more likely in the far south and southwest.
Tomorrow : Widespread Moderate air pollution levels are expected for much of the UK, but perhaps Low in the far south with the advance of more unsettled weather conditions.
Outlook : The extent of Moderate air pollution levels should reduce through this period, as more showery and unsettled conditions develop, perhaps becoming generally Low with surviving areas of Moderate by Tuesday.

Crowd sourced map which I think is largely based on particulate matter measurements already showing localised unhealthy air quality for parts of London and the South East so far this morning.

Have shut the windows and put my HEPA filter on.

Map of South East England including London showing a mix of air quality readings of mainly moderate to very unhealthy in parts of Essex and East London.

Forecast and outlook over next few days for air quality again moderate.

Today : With light winds and sunny conditions remaining predominant, air pollution levels are expected to be widely Moderate today, particularly in the north and east of England. The southwest of England and perhaps coastal areas in the southeast may see Low levels of air pollution.
Tomorrow : Air pollution levels are expected to remain widely Moderate on Tuesday, perhaps even more than on Monday.
Outlook : Widespread areas of Moderate air pollution are expected to continue, although coastal areas in the east may remain at Low levels.

Realtime sensor network indicating we're already at a moderate level as of 10am.

[I see people are boosting this post from two days ago on the 10th June! But follow the link to see how things are today with the crowdsourced network.]

#AirQuality #HeatAlert

Realtime crowdsourced sensor network over UK and Ireland showing air quality indices that are mostly yellow indicating moderate air quality.

Pollution forecast for today is moderate, as is the outlook over the coming days.

https://uk-air.defra.gov.uk/forecasting/?day=1#forecast_map

Today : Many areas of the UK will have Moderate levels of air pollution today due to the very warm or locally hot conditions, although northeast England and parts of eastern Scotland are likely to have Low levels of air pollution.
Tomorrow : Widespread areas of Moderate air pollution are expected across the UK, although some areas of Low air pollution will occur, especially across parts of the far southwest and also eastern Scotland.
Outlook : The continuing very warm or locally hot and humid conditions will help to maintain widespread areas of Moderate air pollution across the UK. However, some Low levels of air pollution will occur, these most likely across North Sea coastal areas.

🟡 The air quality forecast is for moderate air quality across large parts of the UK tomorrow.

Defra say outlook is: "Air pollution levels likely to remain at Moderate levels due to the very warm, locally hot and humid conditions persisting into early next week. Scattered showers and thunderstorms reducing levels in places."

This is the weather that really badly affects my asthma, definitely staying indoors and running my HEPA filter.
