Fairbanks Pollen Count
Updated: Friday, June 12, 2026
The Fairbanks atmosphere is keeping us on our toes this week! After dipping briefly following Tuesday's cool rain, spruce has climbed right back up into heavy-hitting territory today.
Today’s Official Counts (June 12, 2026):
Picea (Spruce): 265 (High) – Stepping back up as warm, breezy conditions help the remaining male cones disperse their heavy yellow payload.
Juniperus (Juniper): 26 (Moderate) – Climbing steadily into the moderate zone! Keep an eye on this if you are sensitive to evergreens.
Betula (Birch): 16 (Moderate) – Nudging slightly up into the lower boundary of the moderate category, though nothing like the massive peaks of May.
Alnus (Alder): 9 (Low)
Prunus (Chokecherry / Bird Cherry): 5 (Low)
Cyperaceae (Sedge): 1 (Low)
Poaceae (Grass): 1 (Low) –FIRST OF THE SEASON! Marking the true boundary line of mid-June.
Mold* Spores: 999 (Low) – Sitting just a hair shy of the 1,000 mark, remaining steady and low.
*Pollen counts are certified by the National Allergy Bureau; Mold counts are independently analyzed and provided for general informational and educational purposes only.
KEY: Green is low; yellow is moderate; orange is high; red is very high.
