Irún's Bidasoa River corridor and the surrounding Basque woodland feature oak, birch, and chestnut as the main tree pollen sources in this Pyrenean border city. Surrounding Basque farmland and Cantabrian Mountain woodland contribute substantial tree and grass pollen, while the very wet Atlantic climate means frequent rainfall provides regular interruptions and the river channels airflows across the border setting.

Grass peaks through June and July before mugwort and nettle extend exposure into September. Very frequent rainfall provides regular interruptions throughout, making Irún one of the more frequently interrupted pollen seasons along the Spanish-French border.
How often is the Irún pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Irún 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 Irún 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 Irún, 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.
