Local Environmental Conditions
This location in Alicante sits among a blend of built-up land and open water. Olive stands out as the main allergenic tree nearby. Grasses and weeds such as pigweed round out the local mix. In the immediate area, street trees, gardens and lawns supply most pollen in the built-up parts.
Tree pollen peaks in late spring, when the weather warms to around 20°C and olive is in full flower. Grasses take over in late spring and keep pollen in the air into early fall. Later, pigweed keeps weed pollen in the air from early summer into early fall. Spring is the wettest time of year, and heavy showers can bring short breaks in pollen.

How often is the Alicante pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Alicante 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 Alicante 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 Alicante, 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.
