Alba Iulia's historic citadel setting and the Mureș River corridor feature oak, linden, and poplar as the main tree pollen sources, with the Apuseni Mountain foothills contributing additional tree pollen from the west. Surrounding Transylvanian farmland extends grass pollen across the city, while the Mureș valley channels airflows and the continental climate produces a well-defined seasonal progression.

Does pollen in Alba Iulia 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 Alba Iulia 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 Alba Iulia, 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.
