About Pollen in Tallinn

Tallinn’s spring allergy season (April-June) is dominated by Birch and Alder pollen; Birch (Betula) prolific in Kadriorg Park and Nõmme forests; Alder (Alnus) widespread along Pirita riverbanks. Hazel (Corylus avellana) contributes significantly from Nõmme and Pirita gardens. Summer (June-August) sees high Grass (Poaceae) pollen levels, originating from Stroomi Beach and Pirita River valley meadows.

Tallinn’s coastal position and Baltic Sea winds disperse pollen inland; limestone cliffs in Lasnamäe create wind patterns that move allergens. Autumn and winter see elevated Mould (Alternaria, Cladosporium) spore counts, from decomposing leaf litter in the Kalamaja district and damp coastal parklands.
