In Kungsbacka, oak, birch, and oak growing in parks and green corridors account for most of the tree pollen exposure. Open fields near the Kattegat coast let grass and crop pollen spread widely whenever conditions are dry and breezy. Seasonal exposure in Kungsbacka therefore depends heavily on how close residents are to parks versus the denser city core.

Does pollen in Kungsbacka 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 Kungsbacka 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 Kungsbacka, 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.
