ENVIRONMENT & ANALYSIS

Local Environmental Conditions

Most of the area around this location in Hugh is open grassland, with a good deal of scrubland. With a stream or river close by, riverside vegetation contributes to the local mix. Grasses and weeds such as pigweed round out the local mix. In the immediate area, scrubland contributes pollen from shrubs, grasses and herbs.

Grasses take over in mid-spring, with temperatures around 25°C, and their pollen lingers into mid-fall. The season closes with pigweed from early summer into early fall. Summer is the wettest time of year, and heavy showers can bring short breaks in pollen. Day to day, sunshine and wind lift the counts, while a spell of rain can bring them down sharply.

How often is the Hugh pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Hugh 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 Hugh 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 Hugh, 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.

Data provided by Airmine — Last update: 7 October 2026 at 08:44 CEST (Data is updated four times daily.)

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.
