Local Environmental Conditions
Tree cover in Kristinehamn is dominated by pine, birch, and oak, concentrated in parks and along the water's edge rather than in the city centre. The open landscape near Lake Vänern's northern shore contributes substantial grass and crop pollen, especially where farmland borders the built-up area. Seasonal exposure in Kristinehamn therefore depends heavily on how close residents are to parks versus the denser city core.
The pollen calendar in Kristinehamn starts in February with alder, followed by a strong birch peak in May. From June onward, grass overtakes birch as the main pollen source for several weeks. The influence of Lake Vänern's northern shore on local airflow is one of the more noticeable factors shaping short-term pollen swings in Kristinehamn. Surrounding pine-dominated woodland and farmland extend the tail of the season into August.

How often is the Kristinehamn pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Kristinehamn 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 Kristinehamn 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 Kristinehamn, 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.

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. |
