Kiel's coastal setting on the Baltic Sea features oak, birch, and alder as the main tree pollen sources in parks and along streets, with exposure varying between green areas and the more built-up city centre. Surrounding Schleswig-Holstein farmland and coastal woodland contribute substantial grass and tree pollen, while onshore Baltic winds can periodically disperse urban pollen across the fjord city.

When is pollen season in Kiel?
Kiel's pollen season runs from January through August, opening with hazel and alder from January before birch peaks strongly through April and May. Grass pollen peaks through June and July. The Baltic Sea fjord position means onshore Baltic winds can periodically disperse pollen, while surrounding Schleswig-Holstein farmland and coastal woodland contribute substantial grass and tree pollen. The maritime climate provides more frequent rainfall interruptions than in inland German cities.
How often is the Kiel pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Kiel 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 Kiel 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 Kiel, 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.
