The flat Saxon landscape and surrounding farmland allow pollen to disperse readily, while the Elbe and Pleisse river valleys channel airflows across the city. The continental climate produces a well-defined seasonal progression.
How often is the Leipzig pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Leipzig 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 Leipzig 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 Leipzig, 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.
