Local Environmental Conditions
Royal Waterloo Golf Club's Belgian Brabant woodland setting features oak, birch, and linden as the main pollen sources, with exposure varying between the more open fairways and the densely wooded sections. Surrounding Brabant Wallon farmland and Soignes Forest contribute substantial tree and grass pollen, while the temperate oceanic climate means frequent rainfall provides regular interruptions and the Soignes Forest beech woodland contributes additional distinctive local pollen throughout.
Pollen from oak, birch, and plane trees builds through April and May, tapering off as grass pollen takes over across June through August. Urban Brussels sees a modest ragweed uptick from late August, though nothing like Central European levels further east, and conditions at Royal Waterloo Golf Club – Championship Course generally track the broader regional pattern for this part of Belgium.

How often is the Brussels pollen forecast updated?
The Brussels pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Brussels come from nearby or far away?
Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.
Are pollen levels in Brussels 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 Brussels, 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.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
