Local Environmental Conditions
Around 92% of the area near the heart of Lakefield is woodland. Along a stream or river nearby, trees, shrubs and reeds grow in the damper ground and add their own pollen. Woodland on all sides makes trees an important local pollen source. Grasses add a sizeable share of the local pollen.
Temperatures stay between about 25°C and 30°C through the year, so plants release pollen in most months. Levels tend to be highest in drier spells, especially around August. During the rainy season, frequent heavy downpours wash much of the pollen out of the air. Warm, damp weather from early summer into late fall also raises mold spore levels.

How often is the Lakefield pollen forecast updated?
The Lakefield pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Lakefield 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 Lakefield 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 Lakefield, 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. |
