Erlangen's pollen season extends from January to August, starting with early alder and hazel from late January with birch pollen rising sharply across April. Grass pollen takes over across June and July. It lies within Franconia, where rolling farmland and mixed forest surround the town along regional river valleys, contributing steady woodland and cereal pollen into summer.

The Erlangen pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

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.

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 Erlangen, 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.
