Pollen Update

I was a little suspicious of the results of yesterday's pollen report:
1) websites are notorious for bugs
2) "alder" is alphabetically the first tree on the list, so was likely taken as the default
3) it's definitely cypress pollen season (we've been "red zoned" for weeks)
 So, I did some checking. Obviously, I couldn't check the website code, but I did check typical pollen counts for Sète by type and time of year.

Here's alder (Sète area is yellow)

And here's cypress (Sète area is red)

I suspect that our ferocious wind blowing through the apartment yesterday brought in an extra dose of cypress pollen...
