Path of the Gods - Pollen and Air Quality Forecast for Today

Race day: all year
Distance: 8 km

Pollen levels are high today, with mugwort as the main active species. Air quality along the route is fair. O3 (25.2/100) is fair. The remaining pollutants stay at good levels. Based on Airmine's forecast, which uses satellite data to calculate exposure every 200 metres along the route, air quality is at its worst 0.0 km after start. Pollen exposure peaks at 0.0 km after start.

Path of the Gods traverses the famous Sentiero degli Dei coastal trail on the Amalfi Coast above Positano, with garrigue scrub, olive, and Mediterranean maquis as the main pollen sources along this dramatic cliff-top route. The hot dry Mediterranean summer concentrates pollen dispersal during spring, while the exposed Tyrrhenian Sea position means onshore marine winds frequently disperse pollen across the cliff-top trail and mugwort extends exposure into late summer throughout this iconic Amalfi Coast path.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is air quality worst on the Path of the Gods route?

Based on today's forecast, O3 is forecast at fair levels along the route today (25.2/100). Air quality is at its worst 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 Path of the Gods 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 Path of the Gods 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 Path of the Gods 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 Path of the Gods, 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.
