ENVIRONMENT & ANALYSIS

Local Environmental Conditions

The landscape around the center of Darlington is densely built up, with some woodland. Common allergenic trees nearby include maple, birch and oak. Grasses also feature strongly, alongside plantain and mugwort among the weeds. Around here, street trees, gardens and lawns supply most pollen in the built-up parts. Roadside verges and patches of open ground provide further room for grasses and weeds.

Maple, birch and oak lead the season in mid-spring, as temperatures climb to around 5°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Grasses take over in midsummer, with temperatures around 15°C, and their pollen lingers into late summer. The season closes with plantain and mugwort from late spring into late summer. By late fall, pollen levels are low again.

How often is the Darlington pollen forecast updated?

The Darlington pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Does pollen in Darlington 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 Darlington 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 Darlington, 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.

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. This page provides the latest public pollen forecast for Darlington.

Data provided by Airmine — Last update: 10 October 2026 at 20:32 CEST (Data is updated four times daily.)

Methodology & Technology

Airmine combines satellite observations, weather forecasts and machine learning to forecast pollen, air quality and mold risk. For pollen, vegetation maps and weather data help predict season onset and exposure at 400 × 400 metre resolution. For air quality, we refine Copernicus CAMS forecasts using local factors such as roads, emissions and terrain. For routes, data is updated dynamically to provide accurate exposure metrics along the specific race corridor coordinates.

Our models are calibrated against millions of professional monitoring records and updated four times daily as new data becomes available.
