Bern pollen forecast — Wankdorf Stadium neighborhood

On 16 July 2026, overall pollen levels in Bern are low. Grass is the main contributor to airborne pollen

On 17 July 2026, pollen conditions in Bern will be similar to today with no significant pollen expected.

According to the five-day outlook, grass pollen levels will increase later in the week.

On 16 July 2026, Grass is the dominant pollen source in Bern. cypress, willow, alder, artemisia, birch, and hazel are not currently active.

January opens Wankdorf Stadium's pollen season with hazel and alder; birch peaks strongly through April, oak and ash follow, and grass then dominates June and July. The Aare valley and surrounding foothills channel airflows and can concentrate pollen under calm conditions, while nearby Swiss farmland adds substantial tree and grass exposure. Being somewhat higher than the lake cities, the season here tends to start a touch later.

The Bern 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 Bern, 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.
