Amstelveen's Amsterdamse Bos and the Amstel River corridor are particularly significant local pollen sources, featuring oak, birch, and linden as the dominant tree species. Exposure varies considerably between the extensive woodland and green areas and the more built-up suburban city centre, while surrounding North Holland farmland contributes additional grass pollen under prevailing westerly winds.

How often is the Amstelveen pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Amstelveen 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 Amstelveen 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 Amstelveen, 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.
