Gorinchem's urban greenery relies mainly on oak, birch, and linden, which dominate local tree pollen output, with the leafier outskirts typically seeing higher counts than the compact centre. Nearby, the confluence of the Merwede and Linge rivers together with Zuid-Holland farmland contributes further grass and tree pollen, in keeping with Gorinchem's character as a fortress river town.

How often is the Gorinchem pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Gorinchem 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 Gorinchem 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 Gorinchem, 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.
