Arras's parks and the Deule corridor feature birch and oak as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between green areas and the more built-up centre. The Picardy and Artois arable plains nearby are a major source of grass pollen later in the season, while the cool oceanic climate shapes how pollen disperses across the town.

How often is the Arras pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Arras 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 Arras 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 Arras, 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.
