Iceland's Pollen Seasons

In Iceland, tree pollen starts showing in April in the records. Alder and birch are the trees measured. Their pollen can bother people with allergies. The records average results from three cities and do not show differences between regions.

Grass pollen arrives in June and continues through July in the records. Grass is the most common pollen type across the year. July is the busiest month for pollen overall in these three Icelandic cities.

Weed pollen is also part of pollen seasons, but the Iceland records described here do not list weed types or their months. So its timing cannot be compared with alder, birch, or grass from these records.
