Local Environmental Conditions
Here, within easy reach, a stand of river oak lines the water, a reliable source of casuarina pollen through the warmer months. Located just around the area, this area has a canopy of eucalypt threaded with wattle, wattle chief among them for allergenic potency here. A nearby park's turf and plane trees layer additional pollen onto the seasonal grass count, within easy reach.
Water-edge river oak is usually the first allergenic tree active here, arriving ahead of the rest of the season, cresting around mid-winter. Further into late winter, the area's eucalypt and wattle stands drive the pollen count, building to its sharpest point across August and September. Grass pollen takes over next, building to a peak around November, then holding at a high level well into January before easing off.

How often is the El Arish pollen forecast updated?
The El Arish pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in El Arish 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 El Arish 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 El Arish, 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 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
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. |
