Around Lübeck, beech, birch, and oak stand out as the leading tree pollen sources in parks and gardens, with exposure shifting between green space and centre. The Holstein farmland and lakeside forest beyond the town supply further tree and grass pollen, while gentle terrain allows fairly even pollen dispersal overall.

When is pollen season in Lübeck?

Grass pollen then peaks through June and July. The gently hilly Holstein terrain near Lübeck mixes grazing land with lakes and beech woodland, contributing steady lake-district tree pollen into early summer.
How often is the Lübeck pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Lübeck 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 Lübeck 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 Lübeck, 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.
