About Pollen in Puebla

Puebla’s dry allergy season (November–May) is dominated by Ash and Cedar pollen; Mexican Ash (Fraxinus uhdei) prolific in Parque Ecológico and Paseo Bravo; White Cedar (Cupressus lusitanica) widespread across Los Fuertes hills. Oak (Quercus) and Pine (Pinus) contribute significantly from the slopes of La Malinche volcano. Year-round Grasses (Poaceae) peak before the rainy season, originating from Parque del Arte and along Atoyac River banks.

High altitude and surrounding volcanoes create air basins; these trap pollen within the city valley. The rainy season (June–October) sees high Mould (Alternaria, Cladosporium) spore counts, from humid soil in the San Francisco garden and damp city environments.
