Pilsen's tree pollen is dominated by birch and beech, a pattern typical of Plzeň Region and reinforced by its position on the Bohemian plain where four rivers meet; grass pollen adds further exposure from nearby farmland through the warmer months. Parks and leafier streets tend to register higher counts than the built-up core.

How often is the Pilsen pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Pilsen 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 Pilsen 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 Pilsen, 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.
