Pollen Count & Forecast for Leipzig
About Pollen in Leipzig
Leipzig’s spring allergy season (March-May) is dominated by Hazel and Alder pollen; Hazel (Corylus) common along the White Elster; Alder (Alnus) frequent near the Pleisse River. Birch (Betula) and Ash (Fraxinus) contribute significantly from the Rosental and city green belts. Summer (June-August) sees high Grass (Poaceae) pollen levels, originating from meadows within the Leipzig Auenwald.
The flat basin geography traps airborne particles; the city center has higher heat, extending the pollination window. Autumn and winter see elevated Mould (Alternaria, Cladosporium) spore counts, from decomposing leaf litter in the riparian forests and damp parklands.
