About Pollen in Munich

Munich’s spring allergy season (March-May) has Birch (Betula) and Hazel (Corylus) pollen; Birch is common in the Englischer Garten and along the Isar River; Ash (Fraxinus) is found in the Perlacher Forst. Summer (May-July) has high Grass (Poaceae) levels; these originate from meadows in Westpark and the Olympic Park.

Southern Föhn winds carry pollen from the Alps into the city; dense urban blocks trap these particles. Autumn and winter have high Mould (Alternaria, Cladosporium) counts; these come from leaf litter in the Englischer Garten and damp soil near the Isar.
