How to connect?

In Culemborg, tree pollen comes chiefly from oak, birch, and linden planted through parks and streets, though the gap between centre and edge can be considerable depending on wind direction. the Lek river and the surrounding Gelderland farmland add substantial grass and tree pollen to the mix, especially given Culemborg's role as a small fortified river town.

Does pollen in Culemborg 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 Culemborg 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 Culemborg, 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.
