Wind Patterns & Limitations
Westerly winds between 15-17 km/h provide minimal cooling effect without clearing the pollution. The three-day forecast shows consistent wind patterns that are insufficient to disperse trapped pollutants. This explains why air quality remains persistently poor throughout the period.
