Pollen Count & Forecast for Frankfurt
About Pollen in Frankfurt
Frankfurt’s spring allergy season (March-May) is dominated by Hazel and Alder pollen; Hazel (Corylus) prolific in the Stadtwald; Alder (Alnus) widespread near the Main riverbanks. Birch (Betula) and Oak (Quercus) contribute significantly from the Palmengarten and Taunus hills. Summer (May-July) sees high Grass (Poaceae) pollen levels, originating from the Nidda valley.
Urban street canyons and tall buildings in the financial district can trap pollen, leading to localised high concentrations. Autumn and winter see elevated Mould (Alternaria, Cladosporium) spore counts, from decomposing leaf litter in the Stadtwald and damp parklands.
