Wettingen pollen forecast - today, tomorrow and the week ahead

On 16 July 2026, overall pollen levels in Wettingen are low. Grass is the main contributor to airborne pollen

On 17 July 2026, pollen conditions in Wettingen will be similar to today, with grass at low levels

According to the five-day outlook, grass pollen levels are expected to gradually decrease, while artemisia pollen will increase, suggesting mixed conditions later in the week.

On 16 July 2026, Grass is the dominant pollen source in Wettingen. artemisia, birch, hazel, cypress, willow, and alder are not currently active.

By January, hazel and alder are already active at Wettingen; birch then peaks strongly through April, oak and hornbeam follow, with grass finishing the sequence across June and July. This flat Rhine plain stretch tends to funnel airflow, occasionally trapping pollen on still days, while nearby farmland and forested foothills keep contributing through summer. The tri-national setting near France and Germany means pollen sources reach in from across three countries.

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

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.

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 Wettingen, 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.
