Local Environmental Conditions
Pogradec's tree pollen is dominated by plane and pine, a pattern typical of Korçë and reinforced by its position on the shore of Lake Ohrid; grass adds further exposure from nearby farmland through the warmer months. Parks and leafier streets tend to register higher counts than the built-up core.
Pogradec's exposure builds from an early pine and eucalyptus phase into a plane and pine peak, with grass keeping counts up into summer over January through August in total. the Mediterranean climate's dry summer keeps autumn pollen minimal, a pattern common across Korçë.

How often is the Pogradec pollen forecast updated?
The Pogradec pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Pogradec 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 Pogradec 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 Pogradec, 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.

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. |
