Sønderborg Castle's grounds and the harbourfront promenade are shaded by lime, chestnut, and oak, with beech forest covering much of Als further from the centre.

When is pollen season in Sønderborg?
On the island of Als, Sønderborg's season starts with hazel and alder in January, birch peaks through April, and grass dominates June and July much like the rest of Jutland. The narrow Sønderborg Sound funnels wind unpredictably, so some still days see pollen linger noticeably longer than in more open parts of South Jutland.
How often is the Sønderborg pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Sønderborg 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 Sønderborg 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 Sønderborg, 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.
