What this means for you
Many people with a diagnosed allergy will start to react. Take antihistamines before going out rather than after symptoms begin, and keep bedroom windows shut overnight.
How pollen levels are scored
Thresholds differ by plant, because the amount of pollen it takes to provoke symptoms differs by plant. A count of 20 is a moderate grass day and a very high ragweed one.
| Pollen | Low | Moderate | High | Very high | Usually in the air |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alder | 1–9 | 10–99 | 100–999 | 1000+ | January to March |
| Birch | 1–9 | 10–99 | 100–999 | 1000+ | March to May |
| Olive | 1–49 | 50–199 | 200–999 | 1000+ | April to June |
| Grass | 1–19 | 20–49 | 50–199 | 200+ | May to August |
| Mugwort | 1–9 | 10–29 | 30–99 | 100+ | July to September |
| Ragweed | 1–9 | 10–19 | 20–49 | 50+ | August to October |
How these figures are produced
These counts come from the Copernicus atmospheric monitoring service, which models pollen concentrations on a grid across Europe, sampled at the coordinates of Kolpino. They are modelled values rather than grains counted at a pollen trap in the town, so neighbouring localities in the same grid cell will show similar figures, and a tree in flower on your street can matter more than the number here. Treat them as a regional indication. They are not medical advice: if symptoms are severe or persistent, speak to a doctor or pharmacist.
