How to connect?

Wageningen's urban greenery relies mainly on oak, birch, and linden, which dominate local tree pollen output, though levels vary noticeably between the dense centre and the leafier edges of town. Nearby, the Rhine river and the Grebbeberg hill together with Gelderland farmland contributes further grass and tree pollen, in keeping with Wageningen's character as an university river town.

How often is the Wageningen pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Wageningen 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 Wageningen 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 Wageningen, 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.
