Munich pollen forecast — Isar River corridor neighborhood

On 16 July 2026, overall pollen levels in Munich are moderate. Grass is the main contributor to airborne pollen, while cypress remain at lower levels

On 17 July 2026, pollen conditions in Munich will be different from today, with grass continuing to decline

According to the five-day outlook, grass pollen levels are expected to gradually decrease, while artemisia pollen will increase, suggesting mixed conditions later in the week.

On 16 July 2026, Grass is the dominant pollen source in Munich. cypress are also present but at lower levels. hazel, willow, alder, artemisia, and birch are not currently active.

Through central Munich, the Isar corridor carries alder, willow, and cottonwood along its banks as the leading pollen sources, alongside the English Garden just upstream. Calm river-valley air concentrates pollen locally; birch peaks through April and May, riverside meadows add grass pollen through June and July, and mugwort lingers into September along this central river route.

The Munich 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 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.
