Bergkamen's parks and green spaces rely mainly on hornbeam, ash, and beech as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between these areas and the more built-up centre. Tree and grass pollen levels rise further from Westphalian farmland and hedgerow-lined fields at the town's edge, while the patchwork of fields and copses gives modest pollen variability.

How often is the Bergkamen pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Bergkamen 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 Bergkamen 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 Bergkamen, 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.
