How to connect?

In Waalwijk, tree pollen comes chiefly from oak, birch, and linden planted through parks and streets, though levels vary noticeably between the dense centre and the leafier edges of town. The combination of the Bergsche Maas river and Noord-Brabant farmland means grass and tree pollen remain significant here, fitting Waalwijk's identity as a river-plain industrial town.

Does pollen in Waalwijk 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 Waalwijk 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 Waalwijk, 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.
