Stretching across Connemara's bogland and mountains in County Galway, Connemara National Park experiences a cool, upland pollen season, with birch and hazel producing a moderately delayed spring bloom, while the park's blanket bog keeps grass pollen exposure fairly light, and mugwort and nettle remain minimal given the largely peat-covered terrain.

The Galway 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 Galway, 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.
