Local Environmental Conditions
Dingle Peninsula's rugged Atlantic setting features gorse, coastal grassland, and scattered hedgerow as the main pollen sources, with strong Atlantic winds frequently dispersing pollen across this dramatic westernmost Kerry headland.
Stretching along Kerry's rugged Atlantic coastline, Dingle Peninsula experiences a cool, wind-swept maritime pollen season, with sparse coastal vegetation limiting spring tree bloom, while sheltered valleys sustain a fairly typical summer grass presence, and mugwort and nettle appear only in scattered patches given the peninsula's largely exposed, mountainous terrain.

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