First signs of a possible #CodeRed particle #AirPollution by mid-next-week, as winds slow and turn easterly, coinciding with #FestivalBonfires and #Fireworks. Could be nasty
Thread 2/ On Saturday morning, @DefraGovUK says " #AirPollution levels are expected to remain LOW next week".

Seems most unlikely unless #Lockdown stops all #FestivalBonfires and #Fireworks! Low winds and slightly easterly breeze likely to increase particles from Thurs to Sun
Thread 3/... Sunday morning (1 Nov) (Day 4), @DefraGovUK says:

"Settled weather, with light winds, may bring pockets of MODERATE #AirPollution from Wednesday, and possibly very local HIGH areas in southeast on Thursday."

They mean most of London.

4/... Local #AirPollution forecasts from @DefraGovUK @metoffice that don't predict problems at urban roadsides (or a summer ozone #PollutionAlert) https://uk-air.defra.gov.uk/forecasting/locations?q=London&day=5#map_summary
5/... Monday morning 2/11 (Day 5) | Trusted @CopernicusECMWF warns of massive particle #AirPollution starting by Wednesday worsening sharply on Thursday. Meanwhile, @metoffice @DefraGovUK model shows nothing ie LOW

6/. Tuesday morning (3/11) (Day 6) | @DefraGovUK @metoffice trying with their written forecast but let down badly by models/maps that don't include urban roadsides. @CopernicusEU re-confirms nasty particle #AirPollution episode starting Wednesday. #BanBonfires #BanFireworks now!
7/... Good to see @alanwhiteheadmp highlighting the dangers of #fireworks last night in Parliament and calling for a better way forward https://www.theyworkforyou.com/whall/?id=2020-11-02a.1.0&s=%22air+pollution%22#g14.0
Thread 8/... Wednesday morning (4/11) (Day 7) | We're issuing a #CodeRed advisory for particle #AirPollution on Thursday night. Trusted @CopernicusECMWF predicts nasty episode. @DefraGovUK @metoffice predicts 6/10 particle #AirPollution. #BanFireworks. #BanBonfires now!
9/... 10 years ago, the Government would have distributed a press release warning of an #AirPollution episode before #FestivalBonfires season. Our 2 minute video tells the story of Spring and Autumn episodes being 'covered-up' by every Government since. Watch it: https://twitter.com/cleanairlondon/status/1323306099446030336
MODERATE or HIGH particle #AirPollution forecast for London tonight as winds slow and turn easterly. Seriousness of episode depends on number of private bonfires and fireworks. Please check for updates and health advice HT @LondonAir @CopernicusECMWF http://londonair.org.uk/Londonair/Forecast/

23/... Midnight hourly bulletin for #GuyFawkesNight 2020 (Thursday 5/11). Millions of people may be breathing this deadly cocktail of particles and metals for several days in still air. It was the first day of #Lockdown2! cc @bwebster135 @dpcarrington @RHarrabin @adamvaughan_uk
24/... #CodeBlack: VERY HIGH 10/10 particle #AirPollution smothered large areas after bonfires and fireworks last night. @DefraGovUK expects more tonight. Lack of active public warnings is INEXCUSABLE!
