Local Environmental Conditions
Mâcon's public gardens and the nearby Doubs are lined with oak and hornbeam, the main local tree pollen sources. Nearby Burgundy vineyards and cereal plains add significant grass pollen exposure through the growing season, and the continental climate creates some local variation in exposure through the season.
Mâcon sees its pollen season begin in late winter, with hazel and alder the first to appear, before giving way to oak and hornbeam, which peaks in April and May, before grass and cereal takes the season into summer, before the continental climate brings a quieter autumn.

When is pollen season in Mâcon?
How often is the Mâcon pollen forecast updated?
The Mâcon pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Mâcon 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 Mâcon 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 Mâcon, 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.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
