Pollen-Forecast is a tool to view the pollen forecast for a given location. It uses the forecast data from the Copernicus Data Store (CDS) API.
Visualisation is done with HoloViz Pannel.
You can access the application at antoinetavant.fr/app.
You need a ECMWF account to access the data (see Resources).
The project uses hatch to manage the environment and the dependencies. You can install it with:
pipx install hatchRun the pollen forecast viewer with:
hatch run prod:serveOr directly with:
panel serve src/pollen_forecast/app.pyThe Pollen forecast is available on the site pollens.fr but the temporal resolution is not as high as the one provided by the Copernicus Data Store.
The Copernicus website provides a pollen forecast chart, but it is not as user-friendly as the one provided by this project. Especially, the Copernicus website does not provide a way to select precisely a location on the map.
The Copernicus Data Store (CDS) API is used to retrieve the pollen forecast data. The API requires an account to access the data.
The API is documented here. Follow the instructions to create an account and get the API key.
The API key should be stored in a file named .cdsapirc in the user's home directory.
