Herten's green spaces depend mostly on linden, ash, and plane for most of the local tree pollen, with noticeably different exposure between parks and the built-up core. Beyond the town, Ruhr-area farmland and street-tree corridors add further tree and grass pollen, while reclaimed sites add patchy but growing local vegetation.

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