+Yes. Three air environment columns sit together after Cloud cover in the table: Visibility (horizontal visibility in km — useful for fog, haze, and driving conditions), AQI (the European Air Quality Index combining PM2.5, PM10, ozone, NO₂, and SO₂ in a 0–100+ scale), and Pollen (concentration in grains per cubic metre with a type picker — grass, birch, alder, mugwort, olive, ragweed, or total).

+Each day tab in the date strip shows a small weather icon representing the dominant daytime sky conditions — a sun disc for clear days, cloud variants (wispy cirrus, scattered cumulus, overcast) for cloudy days, or a precipitation icon for rainy or snowy days.

The icon is derived from actual daytime solar elevation and cloud data, so it reflects the real character of the day rather than a generic symbol.
