Løvstien parkrun - Pollen and Air Quality Forecast for Today
Pollen levels are low to medium today, with cypress, grass, and birch as the main active species. PM2.5 levels along the route are low today at 6/100, 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 1.7 km after start. Pollen exposure peaks at 1.9 km after start.

Løvstien parkrun follows the scenic Løvstien trail above Bergen, with panoramic views of the city, mountains, and surrounding fjords. The route passes through mixed woodland where birch is the dominant tree pollen source in spring. Bergen's coastal climate and frequent winds can help disperse pollen, although sheltered sections of the trail may still experience elevated local concentrations. Birch pollen typically peaks during April and May, while grass pollen from open areas and forest clearings is most prevalent through June and July. Later in the season, weeds such as mugwort may contribute to pollen exposure into late summer. The combination of forest scenery, elevation, and panoramic views makes Løvstien one of Bergen's most popular outdoor running routes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is air quality worst on the Løvstien parkrun route?
Based on today's forecast, Aqi 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 Løvstien parkrun course?
Pollen exposure peaks at km 1.9 today. This changes through the season as different pollen species become active.
When is pollen worst during the Løvstien parkrun season?
Pollen seasons vary by location. Tree pollen (birch, alder) typically peaks in spring, while grass pollen 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 Løvstien parkrun 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 Løvstien parkrun, 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.
