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.

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.
