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

In Chur, hazel and alder mark the start of the season in January, birch then peaks through April and May, spruce and larch follow suit, before grass becomes the dominant source across June and July. Steep terrain here tends to keep pollen close to the valley floor on still days, while forested slopes and meadows nearby add through the short summer. Altitude here pushes the season later than in the lowland cities of the Mittelland.

The Chur 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 Chur, 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.
