On 17 July 2026, pollen conditions in Gällivare will be different from today, with cypress continuing to decline

On 16 July 2026, Cypress is the dominant pollen source in Gällivare. willow and birch are also present but at lower levels. hazel, grass, alder, and artemisia are not currently active.

In Gällivare, the shorter northern season means alder appears from March, with birch delivering a sharp, concentrated peak into June. Grass takes over from birch through the summer months of June and July. The proximity to the fells bordering the mining district means local wind patterns can periodically disperse or concentrate pollen levels. Late-season pollen owes more to the region's birch cover and farmland than to any urban source.

The Gällivare pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.

Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.

Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Gällivare, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.

This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.
