The vegetation around Alexandria, on the flat Wallachian plain south of Bucharest, is led by oak and hornbeam among tree species, with grass adding to seasonal totals from the surrounding Teleorman land. Streets close to open ground typically see a different mix than the denser centre, particularly once the main tree pollen peak has eased off.

How often is the Alexandria pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Alexandria 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 Alexandria 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 Alexandria, 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.
