Salo's parks and the Uskelanjoki River corridor feature birch, oak, and alder as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between these green areas and the more built-up city centre. Surrounding Southwest Finland farmland and coastal woodland contribute substantial tree and grass pollen, while the Gulf of Finland coastal proximity means onshore winds can periodically disperse pollen across the southwest Finland city.

How often is the Salo pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Salo 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 Salo 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 Salo, 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.
