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 cypress 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. birch, hazel, willow, alder, and artemisia are not currently active.

South of Munich, the Starnberger See corridor draws its pollen mainly from linden, alder, and planted lakeside trees ringing this large Alpine foreland lake. The lake's moderating effect softens temperature swings, and nearby Bavarian farmland adds tree and grass pollen through spring and summer, with mugwort lingering into September along this popular lakeside recreation 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.
