The Hague's parks, including Haagse Bos and the North Sea dune corridor, feature oak, birch, and beech as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between green areas and the more built-up city centre. The coastal position means onshore westerly winds frequently disperse urban pollen, while surrounding Dutch lowland farmland contributes substantial grass and crop pollen.

How often is the The Hague pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in The Hague 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 The Hague 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 The Hague, 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.
