Local Environmental Conditions
Most of the area around the heart of Witbank is built-up land, with some open grassland. Around here, open grassland adds grass and weed pollen; planted trees and mown lawns are the main sources in the built-up parts. Grasses along roadsides, verges and open ground also add to the overall pollen load.
Grasses take over in mid-spring and keep pollen in the air into early fall. Weeds on open ground add a smaller late peak from early summer into early fall. In warm, humid weather through summer, mold spores add to the mix, especially after rain. Within each of these periods, warm, dry and windy days push levels higher, while rain clears the air.

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