Lund's tree pollen comes mainly from beech, birch, and oak growing in parks and along residential streets rather than the compact centre. Open fields near the Höje river valley let grass and crop pollen spread widely whenever conditions are dry and breezy. Seasonal exposure in Lund therefore depends heavily on how close residents are to parks versus the denser city core.

When is pollen season in Lund?

Grass takes over from birch through the summer months of June and July. The proximity to the Höje river valley means local wind patterns can periodically disperse or concentrate pollen levels. Nearby beech woodland and cultivated fields keep the season running into the later summer weeks.
How often is the Lund pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Lund 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 Lund 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 Lund, 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.
