How to connect?

Badalona's coastal setting on the Mediterranean features pine, olive, and plane as the main tree pollen sources in parks and along streets, with exposure varying between green areas and the more built-up city centre. Surrounding Catalan coastal farmland and the Collserola ridge contribute substantial tree and grass pollen, while onshore sea breezes can periodically disperse urban pollen across the Barcelona metropolitan area.

When is pollen season in Badalona?
Badalona's pollen season runs from February through June, opening with pine and plane tree pollen in late winter before grass pollen from surrounding Catalan farmland peaks through April and May. The warm Mediterranean coastal climate means the season starts earlier than in northern European cities, while sea breezes from the Mediterranean can periodically disperse pollen. The hot, dry summer ends the season abruptly by June.
How often is the Badalona pollen forecast updated?

The Badalona pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Does pollen in Badalona 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 Badalona 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 Badalona, 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.
