Local Environmental Conditions
Lommel's position on the sandy Campine plain in Limburg means birch and plane dominate the local tree pollen count, with grass and late-season herbs from surrounding Limburg land adding to totals into early summer. The mix of built-up streets and nearby open ground creates uneven exposure across the town, and residents on the leafier fringes tend to notice higher counts than those nearer the centre.
The season in Lommel opens with hazel and willow, climbs to a birch and plane peak, and winds down as grass and late-season herbs fades; the January-to-August window captures the full cycle here. ragweed adds a modest late-season tail in areas near farmland, reinforced by the town's setting on the sandy Campine plain in Limburg.

How often is the Lommel pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Lommel 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 Lommel 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 Lommel, 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. |
