The main tree pollen sources in Kempten are spruce, linden, and beech, found chiefly in parks and gardens rather than the built-up centre. Bavarian Alpine foreland farmland together with lakeside stands nearby boosts local tree and grass pollen levels, while the foreland setting gives locally variable exposure across the town.

How often is the Kempten pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Kempten 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 Kempten 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 Kempten, 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.
