Helsinki, Finland has cold winters and mild, short summers. Pollen seasons are shorter due to this cooler climate.
Tree pollen season in Helsinki is from April to May, while grass pollen season is from June to August. Weed pollen season is from late July to early September.
Finland's climate is influenced by the Gulf Stream, making it milder than other countries at the same latitude. However, the short growing season and long, dark winters can still impact pollen levels and allergies.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
