Cantù's position on the Lombard plain near Lake Como means pine and oak dominate the local tree pollen count, with grass pollen from surrounding Lombardia land adding to totals into early summer. The mix of built-up streets and nearby open ground creates uneven exposure across the town, and residents on the leafier fringes tend to notice higher counts than those nearer the centre.

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