Located on a bluff above the Adriatic coast, Vasto in Abruzzo draws most of its tree pollen from oak and plane, while grass and late-season herbs contributes further exposure as the season progresses. Green spaces close to the built-up centre see noticeably different totals than the more open outskirts nearby, where surrounding farmland and woodland add their own seasonal contribution to the mix.

How often is the Vasto pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Vasto 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 Vasto 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 Vasto, 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.
