Kyustendil, in an enclosed valley near the border with North Macedonia, draws most of its pollen from oak and pine among local trees, with grass and late-season herbs contributing from farmland and green corridors around Kyustendil. The built environment here creates a patchy exposure pattern, generally higher near parks and lower along the busiest streets.

Does pollen in Kyustendil 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 Kyustendil 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 Kyustendil, 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.
