The Impact Of Clearer Weather On The Environment

Though the precise effects vary by region and the specific pollutants involved, clearer weather—which is frequently the result of less air pollution—can have a significant impact on the environment by allowing more sunlight to reach the Earth's surface, which may increase warming, alter weather patterns, and have an impact on ecosystems. In some cases, cleaner air can also help maintain a more stable climate by lessening the cooling effect of aerosols in the atmosphere.
