Local Environmental Conditions
The center of Loftus is surrounded mainly by woodland, which covers around 78% of the nearby area, with some built-up land. Along a watercourse nearby, trees such as willow grow in the damper ground and add their own pollen. Of the trees nearby, olive and willow are the ones that matter most for allergies. Grass pollen is plentiful, while pigweed and plantain lead among the weeds.
Tree pollen peaks in early spring, when the weather warms to around 15°C and olive and willow are in full flower. Grasses take over in mid-spring, with temperatures around 20°C, and their pollen lingers into mid-fall. Pigweed and plantain bring a final peak from early summer into early fall. Mold spores join in from midsummer into early fall, when damp, warm spells let them thrive.

How often is the Loftus pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Loftus 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 Loftus 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 Loftus, 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. |
