Pollen Count & Forecast for Shenzhen

Shenzhen’s spring allergy season (February-May) is dominated by Pine and Acacia pollen; Masson Pine (Pinus massoniana) numerous on Wutong Mountain and in Lianhuashan Park; Acacia (Acacia confusa) common on hillsides and in city parks. Late summer and autumn (August-October) see high Mugwort (Artemisia) and Bermuda Grass (Cynodon dactylon) levels, originating from the Pearl River Delta and along city riverbanks.

Coastal winds carry allergens toward the Nanshan hills; dense building clusters in Futian trap pollen, leading to localised high concentrations. Year-round humidity leads to elevated Mould (Aspergillus, Penicillium) spore counts, from damp vegetation near Fairy Lake Botanical Garden and humid city environments.
