The pollen calendar in Ligota starts with hazel and alder in February, before a linden and oak peak sets in through the spring weeks; before grass keeps levels up across early summer, the season spanning February to August. Farmland and any nearby woodland around the local parks and green spaces tend to keep background counts topped up through the peak weeks.

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 Katowice, 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.
