On 25 June 2026, Grass is the dominant pollen source in Sankt Gallen. cypress are also present but at lower levels. alder, birch, hazel, and willow are not currently active.

Sankt Gallen's pollen season runs from January through August, opening with hazel and alder from January before birch peaks through April. Oak and ash follow through April and May, with grass peaking through June and July. The Steinach River valley and the surrounding Appenzell and Thurgau Alpine foothills channel airflows, while surrounding farmland contributes substantial tree and grass pollen. The elevated setting means the season begins slightly later than in lower Swiss cities.

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 Sankt Gallen, 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.
