Local Environmental Conditions
The area around the heart of Delmas is a mix of built-up land and open grassland, plus a good deal of farmland. Around here, open grassland and farmland add grass and weed pollen. Pasture and uncultivated field edges in the farmland provide room for grasses and weeds. Street trees, private gardens and mown lawns add to local pollen in the more built-up surroundings.
Grasses take over in mid-spring, with temperatures around 20°C, and their pollen lingers into early fall. A smaller weed peak follows from early summer into early fall. Mold spores join in through summer, when damp, warm spells let them thrive. Actual levels on any given day depend on the weather, with dry, breezy days the worst and wet days the mildest.

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