Local Environmental Conditions
Circuit Paul Ricard's setting features plane and pine as the main pollen sources across the grounds, with exposure varying between open and more sheltered sections. Surrounding Provencal farmland and garrigue scrub contribute substantial grass and scrub pollen, while the Mediterranean climate shapes the overall pattern here.
The pollen season here opens with olive and cypress in late winter, tapering off as plane and pine pollen takes over across April through June, before grass from garrigue scrubland extends the season into early summer. The area's Mediterranean climate drives this rhythm, and Circuit Paul Ricard tends to mirror the broader regional trend.

Does pollen in Le Castellet 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 Le Castellet 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 Le Castellet, 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.

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. |
