As part of Attikí, Salamína lies on Salamis island facing the port of Piraeus and sees olive and cypress as its main tree pollen contributors; grass builds from the surrounding countryside as spring advances. The town's mix of open and built-up ground means exposure is rarely uniform across the area.

How often is the Salamína pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Salamína 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 Salamína 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 Salamína, 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.
