03 April, 2014. South-East, Greater London and parts of Eastern England woke up to a 9 out of 10 air pollution level. Some of the reasons are well-known, others are still a mystery to those who haven’t read the news.

Basically, during the Equinox the Earth’s tilt towards the Sun is non-existent. Both the North and South poles are at an equal distance from the Sun. Continue reading →
