Local Environmental Conditions
The center of Balş sits among a blend of built-up land and woodland, plus some open grassland. Of the trees nearby, mulberry is the one that matters most for allergies. Grasses and weeds such as ragweed round out the local mix. Street trees, private gardens and mown lawns add to local pollen in the more built-up surroundings.
Tree pollen peaks in mid-spring, when the weather warms to around 10°C and mulberry is in full flower. Grasses take over in late spring and keep pollen in the air into early fall. Later, ragweed keeps weed pollen in the air from late summer into mid-fall. By late fall, as temperatures fall to around 5°C, pollen levels are low again.

How often is the Balş pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Balş 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 Balş 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 Balş, 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.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
