Pollen Forecast (Sweden)

Fetch current pollen forecasts from the Swedish Pollen Report (Pollenrapporten) API.

Quick Start

CODEBLOCK0

Example cities: Göteborg, Stockholm, Malmö, Jönköping, Uppsala

How It Works

1. 1. Location mapping: The script matches your city to the nearest region ID from the Swedish Pollen Report network
2. Fetches forecast: Current pollen levels and text summary from INLINECODE0
3. Fetches pollen types: Maps pollen IDs to human-readable names with threshold values
4. Fetches level definitions: Swedish names for severity levels from API
5. Returns formatted output: Severity levels + text forecast + grass pollen alerts (if --alert flag used)

Severity Levels

• - 0: None (Inga halter)
• 1: Low (Låga halter)
• 2: Moderate (Måttliga halter)
• 3: High (Höga halter)
• 4: Very High (Mycket höga halter)

Grass Pollen Alerts

Use the --alert flag for enhanced warnings about grass pollen (Gräs), which is the most common trigger for severe allergies.
