How to connect?

Rome's richly planted urban landscape, anchored by Villa Borghese and the Tiber River corridor, features plane, pine, and olive as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between these green areas and the more built-up city centre. Surrounding Lazio farmland and the Alban Hills contribute substantial grass and tree pollen, while the extensive planting of cypress trees throughout the city makes cypress a particularly significant early-season source.

When is pollen season in Rome?
Rome's pollen season runs from February through June, opening with cypress and plane tree pollen in late winter before grass pollen peaks through April and May. The warm Mediterranean climate means the season starts earlier than in northern European cities, while the hot, dry summer ends the season abruptly. Cypress pollen is a particularly significant source in and around Rome due to the extensive planting of cypress trees throughout the city and its surroundings.
How often is the Rome pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Rome 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 Rome 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 Rome, 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.
