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

Altdorf sees its pollen season start in January with hazel and alder, birch peaking through April, oak and chestnut close behind, and grass finally taking over across June and July. Wooded foothills and farmland here contribute a steady supply, while the lake basin's shape can trap pollen under calm, still air.

The Altdorf 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 Altdorf, 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.
