Nîmes' Jardins de la Fontaine and the Vistre River corridor feature olive, pine, and plane as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between these green areas and the more built-up city centre. Surrounding Gard farmland and garrigue scrubland contribute substantial grass and scrub pollen, while the hot, dry Mediterranean climate concentrates pollen dispersal during spring across the ancient Roman city.

How often is the Nîmes pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Nîmes 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 Nîmes 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 Nîmes, 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.
