Vänersborg's pollen season runs from February through August, opening with alder from February before birch peaks strongly through May. By early summer, grass pollen becomes the dominant driver through June and into July. Air moving across Lake Vänern's southern outlet periodically clears or concentrates pollen depending on which way the wind is blowing. What keeps the season going into August here is largely the surrounding oak forest and open agricultural land.

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

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.

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 Vänersborg, 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.
