Species driving Helsinki’s tree pollen
Species-level counts are not part of the modelled data Pollen Atlas publishes — the modelled index is reported per pollen type, not per species — so this section gives the type summary: tree pollen reads 0.6 (Low) today. The plant-by-plant detail that is available, from the Google Pollen API, is in the next section.
Plants affecting Helsinki now — tree pollen
Detailed plant-by-plant readings for the tree pollen category were not returned in today’s source data for Helsinki. The type summary stands: tree pollen reads 0.6 (Low) today.
In the Nordic & Baltic North pattern, the plants that typically shape this city’s year are a compressed birch-led spring, a brief early-summer grass peak, and a short late-summer mugwort finish — named here as regional context only, not as today’s readings.
Plant detail returns here automatically on any day the feed includes it.
What this tree pollen level means
Low risk. Keep windows open; consider allergy meds only if sensitive.
Enjoy outdoor activities.
The season is compressed: alder stirs first, and birch — the region’s signature spring pollen — peaks through May into early June. This month sits outside the usual tree pollen window for the Nordic & Baltic North pattern, so today’s tree pollen reading is the modelled value outranking the calendar — this page reports the modelled reading first. No Finland allergy season guide is published yet, so the seasonal context here follows the Nordic & Baltic North regional pattern.
