Local Environmental Conditions
chestnut, oak, and ash make up the bulk of tree pollen sources across Ettlingen's parks and gardens, though the built-up centre sees noticeably less. Tree and grass pollen levels rise further from Swabian farmland and orchard belts at the town's edge, while the river's course moderates local airflow through the valley.
Ettlingen's pollen season spans late January through August, launched by hazel and alder already active by January before birch pollen dominating April into May. Grass pollen peaks next, running through June and July. The town sits amid Swabian farmland near the Neckar, where orchards and vineyards border open arable land, keeping grass and orchard pollen elevated through early summer.

How often is the Ettlingen pollen forecast updated?
The Ettlingen pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Ettlingen 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 Ettlingen 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 Ettlingen, 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.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
