In the light of observed variability in precipitation patterns, there is a growing need for comprehensive data mining of regularly updated rainfall recording databases. Therefore, an analysis of heavy rainfall and hyetographs was conducted using a 30-year high-resolution dataset from 100 rain gauges across Poland, covering 31 646 rainfall events. Distributions of rainfall depths, durations, and intensities were explored, and maxima were compared to global records.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to develop predictive models for high daily pollen concentrations using spatiotemporal data and established pollen count levels based on initial allergy symptoms.
  • The dataset was split into training and test sets, with models created for each taxon and city using a random forest approach, though these models showed limited effectiveness.
  • Despite this, the research indicated that past pollen count data from monitoring sites could be used to accurately predict days with high pollen levels for certain taxa, leading to potential simplifications in modeling.
