Most tree pollen in Mölndal traces back to beech, birch, and oak stands in parks rather than the built-up centre. Grass and crop pollen travel easily across the flat, open land bordering the Mölndalsån river valley. Overall, vegetation-related pollen in Mölndal tracks the wider regional landscape rather than any single local factor.

Does pollen in Mölndal 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 Mölndal 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 Mölndal, 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.
