To improve our pollen forecasts, we are using satellite data and machine learning to classify plant types.
We are running our airminer 2.0 sensors to calculate local pollen levels. As expected, pollen levels vary with temperature and precipitation, but we also see significant variations through the day.
Hazel and alder is flowering in Southern Norway, but the key allergen to many of us is birch. When can we expect the birch pollen season to start?
We are heading into warmer and lighter days in Europe, lockdowns or not. And no surprise, the pollen is faithfully here.
The birch season is over for this year – we have dived into our data and created a visualisation of how it developed in Europe.
High levels in Denmark, Germany and Poland, France may have seen the peak. Grass pollen in UK and Scandinavia is on the rise as northern Europe really warms up.
The grass season is long – and Central Europe is in the midst of the blooming. Northern Europe is starting to feel the season.
The birch pollen season is almost finished in most of Central and South Europe. The inhabitants of the northern regions can still expect moderate to high levels, as the weather (finally) warms up.
Grass pollen is the most common pollen allergy in Europe and the season is well under way. Central Europe can expect high levels, while the cold weather further north let us wait for the spread.
Central Europe past the peak, Nordic countries still on the rise The birch pollen season has seen its culmination in Central Europe and UK, as we can see from the map below. The Nordic countries still have the peak ahead, and can expect a marked increase in pollen levels the next ten days. We also …
The birch pollen front continues north – temporary slowdown due to colder weather Read More »
The birch pollen season is at its height in Central Europe, with high levels recorded across the continent. Southern Scandinavia is starting to feel the birch as well, and will see increasing pollen levels the next ten days.
Temperatures are rising in Europe and birch pollen levels will be high across Central Europe and southern UK. The front is moving northwards, and Southern Scandinavia and Finland will also see birch pollen levels on the rise.
Due to warm weather, the birch pollen has increased rapidly in Southern France and Austria the last days. Low temperatures are likely to delay the onset of birch pollen further north.
Pollen season has started in Western France and the front is about to move northwards Over the last few days, birch pollen levels have increased across Central Europe. We are now at a stage where significant levels are recorded in Western France and on the Balkans/Austria, see the figure below. Levels are, however, still behind …
Birch pollen increases in Central Europe: 10 day forecast Read More »
Low temperatures across Europe mean birch pollen season starts later than usual There are currently very low levels of birch pollen in most of Europe, with the exception of the Balkans, see the figure below. The current birch pollen levels are currently at a level that we normally see in early March. Moving forward, the …
Hazel pollen will probably increase and the front will move north-east during the next ten days
The birch pollen season is short but intense To illustrate how the pollen front is moving through Europe, Airmine has made an animation based on the average birch pollen levels recorded throughout Europe the last 10-15 years. Please note that this is not a forecast for this year, but an illustration of how birch pollen …
Is it possible to use satellites to predict and monitor the development of pollen levels in the atmosphere? We use the vegetation index in our forecasting – using satellite data to measure chlorophyll levels in leaves.
Hazel pollen levels on the rise in Northern Europe – Southern Europe seems set for a more normal start of season.
