Meppel pollen forecast - today, tomorrow and the week ahead

On 9 August 2026, overall pollen levels in Meppel are high. Artemisia is the main contributor to airborne pollen, while grass remain at lower levels

On 10 August 2026, pollen conditions in Meppel will be different from today, with artemisia continuing to decline

According to the five-day outlook, artemisia and grass pollen levels will increase later in the week.

On 9 August 2026, Artemisia is the dominant pollen source in Meppel. grass are also present but at lower levels. hazel, cypress, and willow are not currently active.

In Meppel the pollen year begins as early as January with hazel and alder, builds toward a birch peak by April, and runs on into August. Through April and May, oak and ash add to the load, with grass then leading through June and into July. Air movement here is affected by the Reest and Wold canals, and the sandy Drenthe farmland at the Overijssel border adds a local wrinkle to the Meppel pollen picture.

The Meppel pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

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.

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 Meppel, 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.
