Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.

Are pollen levels in Winsen (Luhe) based on measurements or forecasts?

Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.

This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.
