ENVIRONMENT & ANALYSIS

Local Environmental Conditions

The landscape around Black Duck Creek is heavily wooded, with some open grassland. A watercourse nearby means riverside vegetation is part of the local pollen picture. So much tree cover makes trees an important source of pollen locally. Grasses add a sizeable share of the local pollen. Roadside verges and patches of open ground provide further room for grasses and weeds.

Tree pollen comes first, peaking in early spring. Then come the grasses, strongest in mid-spring and fading by early fall. A smaller weed peak follows from early summer into early fall. In warm, humid weather from midsummer into mid-fall, mold spores add to the mix, especially after rain. Actual levels on any given day depend on the weather, with dry, breezy days the worst and wet days the mildest.

How often is the Black Duck Creek pollen forecast updated?

The Black Duck Creek pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Does pollen in Black Duck Creek 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 Black Duck Creek 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 Black Duck Creek, 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.

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.

Methodology & Technology

Airmine combines satellite observations, weather forecasts and machine learning to forecast pollen, air quality and mold risk. For pollen, vegetation maps and weather data help predict season onset and exposure at 400 × 400 metre resolution. For air quality, we refine Copernicus CAMS forecasts using local factors such as roads, emissions and terrain. For routes, data is updated dynamically to provide accurate exposure metrics along the specific race corridor coordinates.

Our models are calibrated against millions of professional monitoring records and updated four times daily as new data becomes available.
