Local Environmental Conditions
The center of Tarcowie sits among a blend of open grassland and farmland. Lawns and planted trees in a nearby park add to local grass and tree pollen. Grasses are a major source, with pigweed adding to the weed pollen load. Pasture and uncultivated field edges in the farmland provide room for grasses and weeds.
Grasses take over in late spring, with temperatures around 20°C, and their pollen lingers into early fall. Pigweed brings a final peak from early summer into early fall. In this dry climate, pollen can linger in the air for long spells without rain. Weather shapes each of these periods: dry, windy spells drive levels up, and showers wash pollen out of the air.

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