Local Environmental Conditions
Around Siegen, hornbeam, spruce, and beech stand out as the leading tree pollen sources in parks and gardens, with exposure shifting between green space and centre. Beyond the town, Sauerland farmland and mixed conifer stands add further tree and grass pollen, while the valley and ridge setting channels airflows across the town.
Siegen's pollen season runs from January through August, beginning with alder and hazel from January with birch levels peaking during April and into May. Grass pollen peaks next, running through June and July. The forested hills of the Sauerland uplands rise around Siegen, with mixed beech and spruce woodland covering the ridgelines, keeping tree pollen levels elevated into early summer.

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