Pollen Count & Forecast for Panama City

Panama City’s dry season (December-April) is dominated by tree and grass pollen; Mango (Mangifera indica) prolific on Ancon Hill and in Metropolitan Natural Park; Cashew (Anacardium occidentale) widespread in suburban gardens. Teak (Tectona grandis) contributes significantly from forests along the Panama Canal. Late dry season (March-April) sees high Bermuda Grass (Cynodon dactylon) pollen levels, originating from the Amador Causeway and along the Cinta Costera.

Coastal winds and high humidity trap allergens against the central skyline, leading to localised high concentrations. Wet season (May-November) sees elevated Mould (Aspergillus, Penicillium) spore counts, from damp conditions in the Rio Matasnillo basin and Rio Abajo neighborhoods.
