Local Environmental Conditions
linden and oak lead the tree pollen count around Podgórze's the south-bank district beneath Krakus Mound, locally, with grass from the surrounding Małopolskie countryside adding to counts from early summer onward. The balance of parkland and paved streets shapes how exposure varies across Podgórze, with denser areas generally running somewhat lower.
In Podgórze, pollen exposure begins with hazel and alder during February, and linden and oak climbs to the top of the spring count; grass keeps counts elevated through early summer, with the season running February to August. Exposure tends to run higher near green corridors than across the more built-up parts of Podgórze.

How often is the Kraków pollen forecast updated?
The Kraków pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Kraków 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 Kraków 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 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.
Airmine’s atmospheric monitoring platform was developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team, using satellite and Earth observation technologies to improve emissions monitoring.
Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
