Siena's Crete Senesi hilltop setting and the Arbia River valley below feature oak, linden, and cypress as the main tree pollen sources, with the distinctive cypress-lined Tuscan landscape being particularly iconic locally. Surrounding vineyard farmland extends grass and tree pollen, while the elevated hilltop setting and the hot, dry Tuscan summer concentrate pollen dispersal firmly during spring.

How often is the Siena pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Siena 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 Siena 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 Siena, 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.
