How to connect?

Local tree pollen in Winterswijk traces mainly to oak, birch, and linden in parks and gardens, and levels shift depending on how close residents are to parks versus the built-up core. the Achterhoek farmland and Duitse Border woodland, alongside the Gelderland farmland around Winterswijk, brings extra grass and tree pollen into an area known as an eastern-border farmland town.

Does pollen in Winterswijk 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 Winterswijk 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 Winterswijk, 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.
