Kiel draws its tree pollen chiefly from ash, oak, and beech in parks and along streets, with exposure varying between green space and the centre. Holstein farmland and pasture-edge tree lines on the town's outskirts add to local tree and grass pollen, while open pastureland allows pollen to disperse fairly readily.

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.
