oak and plane are the dominant tree pollen source around Desio, which sits on the Lombard plain in Milan's northern hinterland in Lombardia; grass and coastal scrub pollen from nearby farmland and parks builds through spring into early summer.

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