Elche's parks and the Vinalopó River corridor feature palm, olive, and citrus as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between green areas and the more built-up city centre. The city's famous palm grove is a distinctive local pollen source, while surrounding Valencian semi-arid farmland contributes substantial grass and crop pollen under the hot, dry Mediterranean climate.

How often is the Elche pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Elche 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 Elche 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 Elche, 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.
