Härnösand pollen forecast - today, tomorrow and the week ahead

On 16 July 2026, overall pollen levels in Härnösand are moderate. Cypress is the main contributor to airborne pollen, while grass remain at lower levels

On 17 July 2026, pollen conditions in Härnösand will be different from today, with cypress, grass increasing

According to the five-day outlook, cypress and grass pollen levels are expected to gradually decrease, while artemisia pollen will increase, suggesting mixed conditions later in the week.

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

Härnösand sees a delayed but intense pollen season, starting with alder in March and building to a compact birch peak by June. June and July then belong to grass pollen, which builds steadily as birch fades. Because of its position near the mouth of the Ångermanälven river, Härnösand experiences pollen dispersal patterns that shift with the local wind direction. What keeps the season going into August here is largely the surrounding spruce forest and open agricultural land.

The Härnösand 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 Härnösand, 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.
