Local Environmental Conditions
Around 41% of the area near this location in Balgowan is open water, with some open grassland and farmland. Grasses also feature strongly, alongside pigweed among the weeds. Roadside verges and patches of open ground provide further room for grasses and weeds. Wind carries pollen over long distances, so the wider landscape also shapes what arrives here.
Flowering trees bring the first pollen of the year in early spring. Grasses take over in late spring, with temperatures around 20°C, and their pollen lingers into early fall. The season closes with pigweed from early summer into early fall. In this dry climate, pollen can linger in the air for long spells without rain.

How often is the Balgowan pollen forecast updated?
The Balgowan pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Balgowan come from nearby or far away?
Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.
Are pollen levels in Balgowan based on measurements or forecasts?
Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.
Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Balgowan, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.
This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.
Airmine’s atmospheric monitoring platform was developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team, using satellite and Earth observation technologies to improve emissions monitoring.
Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
