Noticed the heat has affected your breathing while walking? You’re not alone. Heat and humidity can make it much harder to carry on with activities. If you notice your lung condition symptoms are getting worse, follow your action or self-management plan or speak to a healthcare professional.

Despite the heatwaves and drought, you may be thinking of installing a #WoodBurning stove ahead of winter...watch this first 👇.

Wildfires in Europe so far this summer have led to Spain's deadliest in decades, with temperature anomalies peaking around +9°C in France and Germany and a high of 45.1°C in southern Spain. But how is the UK 'fire wave' after its first 'megafire' that burnt for four days in Dava Moor in May? 1/n

This really exposes one of the flaws in the way air quality levels are reported. DEFRA's system is showing low #AirPollution despite huge peaks across Greater Manchester due to the wildfires. The same peaks in neighbourhoods are missed when people burn wood in their homes. #Health #ToxicAir

I've been doing some analysis on the sensor data. Manchester Piccadilly is about 11 miles from the Dovestone wildfire. Hourly PM2.5 exceeded 100 µg/m³, yet DAQI stayed ‘Low’. Its rolling 24-hour PM2.5 mean smooths away short, severe smoke peaks. The hourly European AQI shows what DAQI misses.
