dvcrn Pollen Forecast (Sweden)
Fetch current pollen forecasts from the Swedish Pollen Report (Pollenrapporten) API.
Quick Start
# Basic forecast
python3 $OPENCLAW_HOME/workspace/skills/pollen-forecast/scripts/get_forecast.py <city-name>
# With grass pollen alerts (for allergy sufferers)
python3 $OPENCLAW_HOME/workspace/skills/pollen-forecast/scripts/get_forecast.py <city-name> --alert
Example cities: Göteborg, Stockholm, Malmö, Jönköping, Uppsala
How It Works
- Location mapping: The script matches your city to the nearest region ID from the Swedish Pollen Report network
- Fetches forecast: Current pollen levels and text summary from
api.pollenrapporten.se - Fetches pollen types: Maps pollen IDs to human-readable names with threshold values
- Fetches level definitions: Swedish names for severity levels from API
- Returns formatted output: Severity levels + text forecast + grass pollen alerts (if
--alertflag 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.
Alert triggers:
| Level | Alert | Recommendations |
|---|---|---|
| 2 - Moderate | 💊 Start allergy medication | Consider mask for extended outdoor time |
| 3 - High | 😷 Mask + 👓 glasses required | Keep windows closed, use air purifier |
| 4 - Very High | 🚨 CRITICAL | Minimize outdoor exposure, shower after being outside |
