Monitoring Richmond Air Quality
The Richmond air quality monitoring site is located near the town centre.
The predominant wind direction is from the south-west. The wind speed in winter is less than 10km/h for more than 80 percent of the time. These low wind speeds over such a high percentage of time are one of the reasons why Richmond has an air quality problem. The morning wind is dominated by south-westerlies and this switches to northerly in the afternoon.
