In Sneek, tree pollen comes chiefly from oak, birch, and linden planted through parks and streets, and readings can differ sharply between the town centre and its greener suburbs. Grass and tree pollen levels here get a boost from the Friese Meren lake district and Fryslân farmland, unsurprising for a lake-district sailing town like Sneek.

April and May bring oak and ash into the mix, before grass becomes the main source through the following two months.

How often is the Sneek pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Sneek 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 Sneek 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 Sneek, 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.
