Alcalá de Henares' Henares River corridor and the Universidad verde campus feature oak, ash, and poplar as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between these green areas and the more built-up historic city centre. Surrounding Castilian farmland and the flat, open Meseta landscape contribute substantial grass and crop pollen, while the semi-arid continental climate concentrates pollen dispersal during spring.

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 Alcalá de Henares 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 Alcalá de Henares, 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.
