Aalen's parks and green spaces rely mainly on oak, maple, and ash as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between these areas and the more built-up centre. The Swabian farmland and valley-floor orchards beyond the town supply further tree and grass pollen, while valley air can concentrate pollen under calm conditions.

Does pollen in Aalen 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 Aalen 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 Aalen, 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.
