Local Environmental Conditions
Almost 40% of the area near this part of Brits is scrubland, with a good deal of open grassland and some woodland. Olive is among the allergenic trees nearby. Grass pollen is a substantial part of the local mix as well. Locally, scrubland contributes pollen from shrubs, grasses and herbs.
Tree pollen peaks in early spring, when the weather warms to around 20°C and olive is in full flower. Grass pollen follows, peaking in early spring and easing off by early fall. A smaller weed peak follows from early summer into early fall. Warm, damp weather through summer also raises mold spore levels.

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