Skövde's parks and green corridors feature spruce, birch, and oak as the dominant tree species, with pollen exposure varying between these green spaces and the denser built-up centre. The open landscape near the ridge between Lake Vänern and Lake Vättern contributes substantial grass and crop pollen, especially where farmland borders the built-up area. Seasonal exposure in Skövde therefore depends heavily on how close residents are to parks versus the denser city core.

When is pollen season in Skövde?
Skövde's pollen season runs from February through August, opening with alder from February before birch peaks strongly through May. Once birch fades, grass pollen sustains elevated counts through most of the early summer. Sitting close to the ridge between Lake Vänern and Lake Vättern, Skövde sees pollen counts that can rise or fall quickly with changing weather fronts. Manufacturing and defence industry activity in the area has little direct bearing on pollen levels, which instead track the regional spruce and farmland cover.
How often is the Skövde pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Skövde 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 Skövde 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 Skövde, 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.
