Avignon's Rocher des Doms gardens and the Rhône and Durance river corridors feature olive, plane, and poplar as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between these green areas and the more built-up city centre. Surrounding Provence farmland and the Alpilles and Luberon scrubland contribute substantial grass and scrub pollen, while the Mistral wind and Rhône valley setting strongly influence pollen dispersal across the historic papal city.

When is pollen season in Avignon?
Avignon's position at the Rhône and Durance confluence creates distinctive pollen dynamics, with the Mistral wind capable of rapidly dispersing or concentrating pollen depending on conditions. Olive and plane open the season from January before grass from surrounding Provence farmland peaks through April and May. The hot, dry Provençal summer ends the season abruptly, making spring the dominant pollen period.
How often is the Avignon pollen forecast updated?

The Avignon pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Does pollen in Avignon 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 Avignon 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 Avignon, 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.
