Local Environmental Conditions
Hilversum's distinctive setting within the Gooi heathland and woodland means oak, birch, and pine are the dominant tree pollen sources, with exposure varying considerably between the surrounding heathland and the more built-up city centre. The Gooi landscape is a particularly significant local pollen source, while surrounding North Holland farmland adds additional grass pollen exposure.
Hilversum's pollen season runs from January through August, opening with hazel and alder from January before birch peaks through April. Oak and pine follow through April and May, with grass peaking through June and July. The surrounding Gooi heathland and woodland make tree and heather pollen particularly significant local sources, while nearby North Holland farmland extends grass pollen into August.

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

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
