Fairbanks Pollen Count

Updated: Monday, June 22, 2026

Tree pollen is continuing to recede, and our early-summer ground covers and grasses are keeping a low profile. Summer is in full swing, and today’s air sample brings us a fascinating look at a beautiful local wildflower you’ve likely spotted along the trails recently: Tall Bluebells (Mertensia paniculata).
 
Today’s Official Counts (June 22, 2026):
The overall air quality remains beautifully clear as we slide past the solstice, with most counts staying very low.
Spruce - 42 - moderate. Still the main pollen, but sliding downward
Alder - 1 - low 
Birch - 4 - low
Juniper - low
Sedge - 1 - low
Grass - 1 - low
Bluebell (Mertensia) - 1 - low
Mold* spores - 737 - low
