Once we get a bit of warm weather we are off with the pollution levels again. Can you see this...
I took the above picture at the weekend because I noticed the unusually thick levels of pollution hanging in the air. It hangs there up to say... 200/300 feet, a thick yellow cloud formed at the weekend and regularly forms ( but usually later in year ). It doesn't rise any higher than this, but ceilings at this level and goes sideways as it were, presumably gravity holds it in this position so it spreads around the earths surface rather than rise up into the blue. It is particularly visible out over the sea.
On the BBC lunchtime news it was the main story warning elderly people to stay indoors or not take strenuous exercise out of doors. Its a mixture of nasty smog and Sahara dust it seems...not very healthy ( i'll be cancelling that 25 mile jog for this afternoon as a consequence ! )
This pollution usually forms later in the year, you can clearly see it out at sea, mostly forms in late July or August and that's the reason I took the picture as its a bit unusual to have it so early in the year.
is it Global Warming Phillip? Are we warming up.. after all its only March and we are hotter than St Tropez.
I suspect Phillip will jump at the bait..hope so anyway.
