Abstract: The influence of meteorological parameters on air pollutants over Port Harcourt and its environs in the dry season was modeled using multiple linear regressions model. Results indicated that meteorological parameters significantly influenced pollutant concentrations; results also showed poor linear relationships between meteorological parameters and pollutant concentrations, and that meteorological parameters are poor predictor variables of concentrations of air pollutants in the area. Pollution roses of pollutants dispersion pattern in the study area showed that pollutant concentrations increase with increased wind speed. Result also showed that wind speed exerts positive influence on the concentration levels of pollutants in the study area. The yearly prediction of air pollutants was also carried out using a ten-year data from previous studies conducted in the study area. The prediction was done using regression analysis and year as the predictor variable to develop a model. The relationship between air pollutants and year was therefore established for the annual prediction of the future pollutant concentrations in the dry seasons for period of the next fifteen years.
