Local Environmental Conditions
St. Alban features linden, chestnut, and vineyard vegetation as the main pollen sources, with exposure varying between the historic Rhine-adjacent quarter's courtyard gardens and the dense residential streets nearby.
St. Alban's pollen year begins in January with hazel and alder, moves into a birch peak strongly through April, adds oak and hornbeam, and culminates in a grass peak across June and July. This corner of the Rhine plain can hold pollen under calm skies, while farmland and forest on both sides of the nearby border add to the total. The tri-national setting near France and Germany means pollen sources reach in from across three countries.

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