Pollen Count & Forecast for Tel Aviv

Tel Aviv’s spring allergy season (March-May) is dominated by Olive and Pecan pollen; Olive (Olea europaea) abundant in Yarkon Park; Pecan (Carya illinoinensis) widespread in older residential neighborhoods. Oak (Quercus) contributes significantly from Independence Park. Year-round Pellitory (Parietaria judaica) is on old stone walls. Summer (May-July) sees high Grass (Poaceae) pollen levels, originating from Yarkon River banks.

High coastal humidity and urban heat islands trap airborne particles near the ground. Autumn and winter see high Mould (Alternaria, Cladosporium) spore counts, from damp conditions near the Mediterranean shoreline and shaded Yarkon Park areas.
