How to connect?

In Nordhorn, willow, alder, and birch anchor the parks and street trees as primary pollen sources, with levels differing between green space and the built-up core. Frisian coastal farmland and polder hedgerows on the town's outskirts add to local tree and grass pollen, while strong onshore winds keep pollen levels comparatively low overall.

How often is the Nordhorn pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Nordhorn 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 Nordhorn 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 Nordhorn, 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.
