Ventspils sits on the Baltic coast at the Venta river mouth, in the Kurzeme region; birch and oak are the leading tree pollen sources locally, and grass adds to totals from local farmland and green spaces through spring. The surrounding Kurzeme countryside shapes how exposure varies across the built-up and open parts of the area, with noticeably calmer conditions once the main birch and oak peak has passed.

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