Pollen Count & Forecast for Luanda

Luanda’s allergy profile shows Grass (Poaceae) pollen present year-round, originating from city parks and along the Cuanza River. The transition to the wet season (October-November) sees increased Acacia (Vachellia) pollen from surrounding savanna areas. Palm (Arecaceae) pollen contributes from numerous street trees and coastal zones.

Urban development and dense housing can trap pollen, leading to localised high concentrations. Coastal breezes can carry pollen from surrounding areas into the city. The wet season brings elevated Mould (Alternaria, Cladosporium) spore counts, from decomposing vegetation in green spaces and humid buildings.
