Nearby, just around the area, a wooded stretch of oak and birch, with birch responsible for some of the sharpest spring counts. Located close to home here, this area has a park where mown turf grass and ornamental trees add grass and ragweed pollen. Comparable land cover in surrounding areas tends to produce a similar pollen mix overall.

How often is the Turkey pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Turkey 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 Turkey 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 Turkey, 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.
