Orihuela's parks and the Segura River corridor feature olive, orange, and palm as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between these green areas and the more built-up city centre. Surrounding Valencian and Murcian citrus and vegetable farmland contribute substantial grass and crop pollen, while the hot, dry Mediterranean climate concentrates pollen dispersal during spring and the Segura valley channels airflows.

How often is the Orihuela pollen forecast updated?
The Orihuela pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Orihuela 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 Orihuela 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 Orihuela, 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.
