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.

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
