Local Environmental Conditions
Zográfos's urban green spaces and the Hymettus Mountain fringe pine and plane make up the bulk of tree pollen, and grass from nearby Attikí farmland extends the peak into spring. The hot, dry months that follow largely end the season.
Zográfos sees pine and plane dominate the early pollen season, with grass adding to counts over the spring weeks before the dry summer shuts things down; overall the season runs January to June. The compressed, intense peak is characteristic of the region's Mediterranean climate.

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