Pollen Count & Forecast for Cancún

Cancún’s year-round season is dominated by grass and tree pollen; Bermuda Grass (Cynodon dactylon) prolific in Parque Las Palapas; Grass (Poaceae) widespread across hotel zone golf courses. The dry season (November-April) sees high Australian Pine (Casuarina equisetifolia) pollen levels, originating from coastal fringes. Mesquite (Prosopis) contributes significantly from scrublands near Kabah Urban Park; Mango (Mangifera indica) pollen found in local gardens.

Urban density traps heat; stagnant air raises local concentrations of triggers. The rainy season (May-October) sees elevated Mould (Aspergillus, Penicillium) spore counts, from decay in mangroves and damp coastal soils. Trade winds carry particles from the Yucatan jungle across Nichupté Lagoon; ocean breezes spread allergens.
