ENVIRONMENT & ANALYSIS

Local Environmental Conditions

Innere Stadt Thun features linden and chestnut trees along the Aare riverside as the main pollen sources, with exposure concentrated in Thun's historic old-town core beneath its hilltop castle.

Early January brings hazel and alder to Innere Stadt Thun, birch follows with a peak strongly through April, oak and ash extend the tree season, and grass then peaks through June and July. This stretch of the Aare valley tends to funnel air, occasionally trapping pollen, while the surrounding farmland and forested rises keep contributing through summer. The elevated setting means the season begins slightly later than in lower-lying Swiss cities.

How often is the Thun pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Thun 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 Thun 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 Thun, 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.

Airmine’s atmospheric monitoring platform was developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team, using satellite and Earth observation technologies to improve emissions monitoring.

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.
