name: pollen-forecast description: Fetch pollen forecasts for Swedish locations from Pollenrapporten (Swedish Museum of Natural History). Use when Boss asks about pollen levels, pollen forecast, or allergy conditions in Sweden. Covers alder, hazel, birch, grass, and other pollen types with severity levels.

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

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 api.pollenrapporten.se
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.

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

Usage for allergy sufferers:

python3 $OPENCLAW_HOME/workspace/skills/pollen-forecast/scripts/get_forecast.py Göteborg --alert

From SKILL.md

The skill automatically:

1. Reads the region mappings from references/regions.json
2. Finds the closest matching region for the requested city
3. Calls the Pollenrapporten API
4. Formats the response with pollen types and severity levels
