The main tree pollen sources in Laer are oak, beech, and ash, found chiefly in parks and gardens rather than the built-up centre. Westphalian farmland and isolated copses on the town's outskirts add to local tree and grass pollen, while field drainage patterns create minor local variation in pollen levels.

Which pollen types are currently active in Laer?

When is pollen season in Laer?
Laer's pollen season spans January into August, launched by hazel and alder in January ahead of birch and oak peaking through May. Grass pollen peaks next, running through June and July. The flat Westphalian plain around Laer channels airflows across open farmland with little relief to slow pollen dispersal, contributing substantial grass and cereal pollen through the summer months.
How often is the Laer pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Laer 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 Laer 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 Laer, 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.
