Högenäs, Sweden has high levels of pollen in the air during certain times of the year. This causes problems for people with pollen allergies.
Birch pollen is the main culprit in Högenäs. It starts in late March and lasts about a month. Levels are highest in April.
Grass pollen comes next, starting in mid-May and lasting about six weeks. This is the second peak pollen season in Högenäs.
The good news is that pollen counts drop in July and stay low until next spring. People with pollen allergies can enjoy the outdoors more comfortably during this time.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
