Pollen Count & Forecast for Yekaterinburg

Yekaterinburg’s spring allergy season (May–June) is dominated by Birch and Pine pollen; Birch (Betula) is heavy across Shartash Forest Park; Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris) is common in the Uktus Hills. Poplar (Populus) contributes significantly from city squares and streets. Summer (June–August) sees high Grass (Poaceae) and Mugwort (Artemisia) levels, originating from meadows near the Iset River and city outskirts.

The Ural Mountains influence local wind patterns and pollen dispersal; the continental climate has dry, windy days that increase airborne concentrations. Autumn and winter see high Mould (Alternaria, Cladosporium) spore counts, from decomposing leaf litter in Mayakovsky Park and damp soil along city ponds.
