E.ON launches ‘Change the Weather’ service to put air quality on the map
New research reveals 86% of Brits believe air pollution is an issue the public needs to know more about
57% care more about air quality than ever before and 62% miss how clean the air was during the first national lockdown
83% would take action to tackle air pollution if they were made more aware about the air they breathe
In a UK first, E.ON launches Change the Weather service, alongside weather data provider DTN, to get air pollution levels included in widespread daily weather forecasts
In its ongoing commitment to raise awareness about air pollution, E.ON has launched its Air Care Research, featuring the views of more than 4,000 people across the country, which found almost two thirds (62%) of people say they miss how clear the air was during the first national lockdown.
Between March and June, air pollution reports gave us a glimpse of life with less air pollution, as nitrogen oxide levels in some cities fell by around 60% due to less traffic on the roads.

As we make our way through a second lockdown in England that should see traffic reduce drastically for a second time this year, nearly nine in ten (86%) stated air pollution is an issue the British public needs to know more about and three-quarters (72%) believe it’s as important to include air quality information as it is the pollen count in weather forecasts.
In response to E.ON’s ‘Air Care Research’, the energy and solutions provider, working with weather data provider DTN, has launched Change the Weather – a new service to help national and regional media include air quality information3 in their weather forecasts. Titles including the London Evening Standard, the I and the Daily Record have already made the change.
