On 16 July 2026, Grass is the dominant pollen source in Ystad. cypress are also present but at lower levels. willow, alder, artemisia, birch, and hazel are not currently active.

In Ystad, the pollen calendar begins as early as January with alder and hazel, giving way to an intense birch peak across April and May. By early summer, grass pollen becomes the dominant driver through June and into July. Because of its position near the Baltic shoreline, Ystad experiences pollen dispersal patterns that shift with the local wind direction. The regional mix of beech forest and farmland means pollen rarely disappears abruptly, tapering instead through August.

The Ystad 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 Ystad, 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.
