Pollen Count & Forecast for Gothenburg
About Pollen in Gothenburg
Gothenburg’s spring allergy season (late March-May) is dominated by Hazel and Birch pollen; Hazel (Corylus) and Alder (Alnus) early in the season; Birch (Betula) prolific in Slottsskogen and Änggårdsbergen. Oak (Quercus) contributes from Botaniska trädgården. Summer (June-August) has high Grass (Poaceae) pollen levels; sources include Hisingsparken and the Göta älv riverbanks.
Coastal winds often disperse pollen inland; rocky hills and granite cliffs trap particles in residential valleys. Autumn and winter see elevated Mould (Alternaria, Cladosporium) spore counts; decomposing organic matter in Delsjön forest and urban canals provides ideal growth conditions.
