Bandung commands the West Java highland plateau at 750 metres in an ancient volcanic caldera, where introduced urban trees, subtropical grasses, and nearby agricultural and tea plantation vegetation introduced urban trees and subtropical grasses lead the local pollen count year-round. The area's wet season is the main source of regular relief from an otherwise constant presence.

How often is the Bandung pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Bandung 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 Bandung 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 Bandung, 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.
