Local Environmental Conditions
Parks and residential streets in Östersund carry most of the pine, birch, and oak cover that drives local tree pollen. Cultivated land near the shores of Lake Storsjön contributes grass and crop pollen that carries easily into more populated areas. Östersund shows a vegetation pattern typical of Swedish towns its size, driven by nearby countryside rather than winter sports and forestry.
Östersund's pollen season is compressed, running from March through September, with alder and birch arriving later than in southern Sweden but peaking more intensely over a shorter window. From June onward, grass overtakes birch as the main pollen source for several weeks. Östersund's location relative to the shores of Lake Storsjön means daily pollen readings can swing with changes in wind direction. Late-season pollen owes more to the region's pine cover and farmland than to any urban source.

How often is the Östersund pollen forecast updated?
The Östersund pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Östersund 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 Östersund 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 Östersund, 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. |
