Local Environmental Conditions
beech, birch, and ash supply most of the tree pollen across Olpe's parks and gardens, with levels varying between green space and the town centre. Additional pollen arrives from Westphalian farmland and isolated copses just beyond the town, while the flat plain lets pollen disperse readily under prevailing westerly winds.
Olpe's pollen season spans January to August, starting with early alder and hazel from January ahead of birch peaking through April and May. Grass pollen follows, dominating June and July. Surrounding the town, the flat Münsterland countryside offers wide arable fields and scattered woodland that shape local pollen levels, contributing substantial grass and cereal pollen through the summer months.

How often is the Olpe pollen forecast updated?
The Olpe pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Olpe 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 Olpe 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 Olpe, 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.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
