Pollen Count & Forecast for Bucharest
About Pollen in Bucharest
Bucharest’s spring allergy season (March-May) is dominated by Poplar and Birch; Poplar (Populus) common along the Dâmbovița River and in Cișmigiu Gardens; Birch (Betula) widespread in Herăstrău Park. Linden (Tilia) contributes significantly across city boulevards. Late summer and autumn (August-September) see extreme Ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) levels, originating from Văcărești Nature Park and vacant suburban lots. Grass (Poaceae) pollen originates from Baneasa Forest.
The flat Bărăgan Plain geography and urban heat islands trap allergens; concrete surfaces prevent pollen absorption. Autumn and winter see elevated Mould (Alternaria, Cladosporium) spore counts, from decaying vegetation in Tineretului Park and persistent humidity.
