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

Gothenburg's pollen season runs from January through August, opening with alder and hazel from January before birch peaks strongly through May. Grass follows through June and July. The North Sea coastal position means onshore westerly winds can periodically disperse pollen, while surrounding Swedish woodland and farmland contribute substantial tree and grass pollen. The oceanic climate provides more frequent rainfall interruptions than in more continental Swedish cities.

The Gothenburg 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 Gothenburg, 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.
