Pollen levels are low to medium today, with grass as the main active species. PM2.5 levels along the route are low today at 16/100, well within safe limits for outdoor exercise. Based on Airmine's forecast, which uses satellite data to calculate exposure every 200 metres along the route, air quality is at its worst 27.7 km after start. Pollen exposure peaks at 0.0 km after start.

Valencia Marathon runs through the Valencia city streets and waterfront, with olive, orange, and palm as the main tree pollen sources along this flat urban route. The December race date falls after the main Mediterranean pollen season, while cypress from the extensive city planting contributes year-round and the Mediterranean climate and sea breezes from the coast moderate conditions throughout this flat, fast and popular Spanish Mediterranean coastal city marathon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is air quality worst on the Valencia Marathon route?

Based on today's forecast, Go3 levels are at their highest after 0.0 km into the route. Airmine calculates exposure at 200m intervals along the course using satellite-derived atmospheric data.

Where is pollen highest on the Valencia Marathon course?

Pollen exposure peaks at km 0.0 today. This changes through the season as different pollen species become active.

When is pollen worst during the Valencia Marathon season?

December coincides with peak grass season. Grass pollen typically rises in May-June.

How often is this forecast updated?

Updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Are pollen levels in Valencia Marathon 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 Valencia Marathon, 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.

Levels show the highest exposure along the full route. Airmine uses satellite data to calculate pollen and air quality every 200 metres along each race route, updated four times daily.
