Parks and gardens across Recke lean on beech, oak, and hornbeam as the dominant tree pollen source, with the built-up core seeing somewhat less exposure. The Westphalian farmland and field-edge tree lines beyond the town supply further tree and grass pollen, while field drainage patterns create minor local variation in pollen levels.

How often is the Recke pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Recke 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 Recke 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 Recke, 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.
