Plovdiv's parks and the Maritsa River corridor feature oak, plane, and poplar as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between green areas and the more built-up city centre. Surrounding Thracian Plain farmland contributes substantial grass and crop pollen, while the enclosed Plovdiv basin concentrates pollen under calm conditions and can limit dispersal during periods of light winds.

How often is the Plovdiv pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Plovdiv 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 Plovdiv 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 Plovdiv, 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.
