About Pollen in Warsaw

Warsaw’s spring allergy season (March-May) is dominated by Birch and Alder pollen; Birch (Betula) prolific in Kampinos Forest and Łazienki Park; Alder (Alnus) widespread along Vistula riverbanks. Oak (Quercus) contributes significantly from Kabaty Forest. Summer (June-August) sees high Grass (Poaceae) pollen levels, originating from the Vistula riverbanks and Pole Mokotowskie; Mugwort (Artemisia) is common in Wilanów meadows.

Urban heat islands and low-lying river areas trap pollen; high buildings create wind tunnels. Autumn and winter see elevated Mould (Alternaria, Cladosporium) spore counts, from decomposing leaf litter in Skaryszewski Park and damp city districts.
