Why don't British weather forecasts always have information about air quality?
Richard Daniel spoke to Dr Steve Dorling at Weather Quest in Norwich, who explained what causes air pollution, how it is made up of a number of ingredients and how Britain's air is perhaps cleaner than it was 50 years ago.
Weather Quest
The BBC Weather Centre only broadcasts warnings if they are valid. So, air quality information is included in weather forecasts when it is bad. The BBC Weather Centre provides detailed forecasts and other meteorological information.
DEFRA is the government department responsible for air pollution and it is very active in monitoring it and educating people about its effects. It has a leaflet called Air Pollution - What it means for your health?.
I watched some bees carrying leaves into a plant pot outside a pub. The landlord told me that he had just watered it, were the bees building a shelter?
These bees were leave cutter bees and they were building their nest. They're known as solitary bees.
