Local Environmental Conditions
Open grassland makes up around 37% of the area near the center of Baird, with a good deal of built-up land and woodland. The damp ground beside a stream or river nearby supports trees, shrubs and reeds, adding to local pollen. In the immediate area, the woodland makes trees an important source; open grassland adds grass and weed pollen.
Over the course of the year, tree pollen comes first, peaking around early spring. Grasses are next, reaching their height around late spring and tailing off by midsummer. A smaller weed peak follows from early summer into early fall, from plants on verges and waste ground. Temperatures range from around 5°C in the coldest month to around 30°C in the warmest, with most rain falling in the warmer months.

Does pollen in Baird 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 Baird 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 Baird, 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. |
