Bonfires and weather

Did you know that Bonfire Night can have an effect on the weather we experience the following day?

The weather on the day following Bonfire Night will mainly depend on the strength of the wind.

Fresh winds will help clear the smoke particles and improve the visibility. However, calmer conditions with lighter winds means there is a greater chance of smoke remaining in the air, which can also help mist or fog develop - called smog.
