maple, ash, and oak make up the bulk of tree pollen sources across Soest's parks and gardens, though the built-up centre sees noticeably less. Beyond the town, Westphalian farmland and isolated copses add further tree and grass pollen, while the flat plain lets pollen disperse readily under prevailing westerly winds.

Which pollen types are currently active in Soest?

On 20 July 2026, Grass is the dominant pollen source in Soest. alder, artemisia, birch, hazel, cypress, and willow are not currently active.

When is pollen season in Soest?
Soest's pollen season spans January into August, opening with alder and hazel already active by January prior to birch climbing through April into May. Grass pollen follows, dominating June and July. The gently rolling farmland around Soest in the Westphalian plain provides little topographic shelter from regional pollen drift, adding heavy grass pollen loads once the growing season advances.
How often is the Soest pollen forecast updated?

The Soest pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Does pollen in Soest 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 Soest 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 Soest, 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.
