Lorient's very wet Atlantic Breton climate means the pollen season is among the most frequently interrupted in France. Hazel and alder open from January before birch and oak peak through April and May. Grass from surrounding Breton farmland peaks through June and July, while the Scorff estuary position means onshore winds can additionally disperse pollen and very frequent Atlantic rainfall regularly interrupts exposure.

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

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.

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 Lorient, 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.
