Lünen's pollen season unfolds from late January through August, opening with hazel and alder from late January before birch pollen rising sharply across April. Grass pollen follows, dominating June and July. The dense Ruhr conurbation around Lünen mixes former industrial land with urban parks and street trees, keeping tree and grass pollen levels comparatively moderate for a dense conurbation.

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

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.

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 Lünen, 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.
