How to connect?

In Munich, linden, birch, and maple anchor the parks and street trees as primary pollen sources, with levels differing between green space and the built-up core. Tree and grass pollen levels rise further from Bavarian Alpine foreland farmland and lakeside stands at the town's edge, while the alpine foreland setting delays the pollen season slightly.

Does pollen in Munich 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 Munich 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 Munich, 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.
