Local Environmental Conditions
In Lüneburg, maple, birch, and ash dominate the parks and street trees as primary pollen sources, with levels differing between green space and the built-up core. The Lower Saxon farmland and mixed upland forest beyond the town supply further tree and grass pollen, while the foothill setting can locally concentrate pollen under calm air.
Lüneburg's pollen season continues from January through August, launched by alder and hazel in January then birch pollen rising sharply across April. Grass pollen then climbs through June and July. The gently hilly landscape near Lüneburg mixes arable fields with beech and spruce woodland toward the Harz, adding beech woodland pollen alongside the seasonal grass bloom.

How often is the Lüneburg pollen forecast updated?
The Lüneburg pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Lüneburg 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 Lüneburg 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 Lüneburg, 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.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
