When is pollen season in Gothenburg?
Gothenburg's pollen season runs from January through August, opening with alder and hazel from January before birch peaks strongly through May. Grass follows through June and July. The North Sea coastal position means onshore westerly winds can periodically disperse pollen, while surrounding Swedish woodland and farmland contribute substantial tree and grass pollen. The oceanic climate provides more frequent rainfall interruptions than in more continental Swedish cities.
How often is the Gothenburg pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Gothenburg 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 Gothenburg 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 Gothenburg, 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.
