Kronborg Castle's pollen season follows Helsingør's standard calendar — hazel and alder from January, birch through April and May, grass in June and July. The castle's exposed position on the Øresund headland means cross-strait winds from Sweden usually move pollen through quickly rather than letting it settle over the ramparts.

The Helsingør 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 Helsingør, 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.
