Local Environmental Conditions
The heart of Villefranche-sur-Saône is densely built up, with some woodland. The allergenic tree mix nearby includes maple, ash and oak. Grasses are a major source, with ragweed and plantain adding to the weed pollen load. Compared with most places, ragweed is especially widespread here, which makes it one of the key local allergens.
Maple, ash and oak lead the season in early spring, as temperatures climb to around 10°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Grasses take over in early summer, with temperatures around 20°C, and their pollen lingers into early fall. The most intense period comes from late summer into mid-fall, when ragweed and plantain are in flower. By late fall, pollen levels are low again.

The Villefranche-sur-Saône pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Villefranche-sur-Saône 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 Villefranche-sur-Saône 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 Villefranche-sur-Saône, 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 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
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. |
