Pollen Count & Forecast for Antwerp

Antwerp’s spring allergy season (March-May) is dominated by Birch and Oak pollen; Silver Birch (Betula pendula) prolific in the Stadspark and Middelheim Park; Oak (Quercus) widespread across the Rivierenhof. Willow (Salix) contributes significantly from trees along the Scheldt riverbanks. Summer (May-July) sees high Grass (Poaceae) pollen levels, originating from fields in the Linkeroever and suburban meadows.

The city’s harbor winds and dense historical architecture can trap pollen, leading to localised high concentrations. Autumn and winter see elevated Mould (Alternaria, Cladosporium) spore counts, from decomposing leaf litter in the Nachtegalenpark and the damp polders surrounding the port.
