Béthune's tree cover, concentrated in parks and along the Deule, is dominated by birch and oak. Picardy and Artois arable plains nearby contribute meaningful grass and crop pollen exposure, and the cool oceanic climate creates some local variation in exposure through the season.

How often is the Béthune pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Béthune 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 Béthune 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 Béthune, 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.
