On 25 June 2026, Grass is the dominant pollen source in Potenza. hazel, cypress, willow, alder, and birch are not currently active.

Potenza's elevated Apennine setting means the season opens later than in coastal southern Italy, with hazel and oak from February before grass from surrounding Basilicata farmland peaks through May and June. Mugwort and nettle extend exposure into September, while the Lucanian Apennine woodland contributes substantial tree pollen and the hilltop position creates distinctive local dynamics.

The Potenza pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

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.

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 Potenza, 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.
