Local Environmental Conditions
Around 58% of the area near the heart of Budapest is built-up land, with some woodland and open water. Among allergenic trees nearby, maple leads, followed by ash and oak. Grasses and weeds such as pigweed and pellitory round out the local mix. Around here, street trees, gardens and lawns supply most pollen in the built-up parts.
Maple, ash and oak lead the season in early spring, as temperatures climb to around 5°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Then come the grasses, strongest in late spring and fading by late summer. Later, pigweed and pellitory keep weed pollen in the air from midsummer into mid-fall. By late fall, as temperatures fall to around 5°C, pollen levels are low again.

How often is the Budapest pollen forecast updated?
The Budapest pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Budapest 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 Budapest 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 Budapest, 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.
Airmine’s atmospheric monitoring platform was developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team, using satellite and Earth observation technologies to improve emissions monitoring.
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. |
