Pollen Count & Forecast for Havana

Havana’s primary allergy season occurs during the dry months (November-April) and is dominated by tree pollen; Australian Pine (Casuarina equisetifolia) prolific near the Malecón and Playa de Marianao; Mango (Mangifera indica) widespread across residential areas like Vedado. The wet season (May-October) sees high Bermuda Grass (Cynodon dactylon) and Guinea Grass (Megathyrsus maximus) levels, originating from Parque Almendares and the Jardín Botánico Nacional.

High humidity and coastal winds influence pollen dispersal. This period brings elevated Mould (Aspergillus, Penicillium) spore counts; these are frequent in old building structures and the damp environment of the Bosque de la Habana.
