On 16 July 2026, Grass is the dominant pollen source in Kraków. artemisia are also present but at lower levels. alder, birch, hazel, cypress, and willow are not currently active.

Dębniki's exposure begins with hazel and alder, typically from February, before a oak and birch peak sets in through the spring weeks; grass then picks up through early summer, with the overall window spanning February to August. Local wind exposure near the local parks and green spaces plays a role in how quickly counts clear on any given day.

The Kraków 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 Kraków, 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.
