Caen's Jardin des Plantes and the Orne River corridor feature oak, birch, and linden as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between these green areas and the more built-up city centre. Surrounding Normandy farmland contributes substantial grass pollen, while the Orne valley channels airflows and concentrates pollen. The Atlantic oceanic climate means very frequent rainfall provides regular interruptions to exposure.

Hazel and alder open from January before birch and oak peak through April and May. Grass from surrounding Normandy farmland peaks through June and July, while the Orne valley channels airflows and very frequent Atlantic rainfall provides regular interruptions.
How often is the Caen pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Caen 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 Caen 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 Caen, 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.
