About Pollen in Manama

Manama’s spring allergy season (February-April) is dominated by Date Palm and Mesquite pollen; Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera) prolific in Al Andalus Garden; Mesquite (Prosopis juliflora) widespread across the Budaiya Botanical Garden. Grass (Poaceae) levels are high, originating from Prince Khalifa Bin Salman Park. Autumn (September-November) has peaks from Pigweed (Amaranthus) and Goosefoot (Chenopodium) along city fringes.

High humidity and shamal winds trap allergens; dust particles have pollen from the desert. Mould (Aspergillus, Penicillium) spore counts are high; spores are in air conditioning systems and damp soil within Water Garden.
