The Tomorrow.io Weather API offers a Pollen Data Layer that helps users track and estimate areas where plants are germinating and producing pollen that may be lofted into the air. This data is useful for managing pollen-related concerns for healthcare providers, individuals with allergies, outdoor event organizers, and agricultural businesses.
Key Features of the Pollen Data Layer
-
Real-Time and Forecast Data: The layer provides up-to-date and forecasted pollen levels to assist with planning and decision-making.

Pollen Index Field: The treeIndex field represents the concentration of tree pollen or mold spores in a cubic meter of air. The values range from 0 (None) to 5 (Very High), giving users a clear view of pollen levels in any specific area.
