Pollen Count & Forecast for Ankara
About Pollen in Ankara
Ankara’s spring allergy season (March-May) is dominated by Pine and Poplar pollen; Pine (Pinus) is prolific in Atatürk Orman Çiftliği and Ahlatlıbel; Poplar (Populus) is widespread near Mogan Lake. Oak (Quercus) contributes significantly from Gençlik Parkı. Summer (May-August) sees high Grass (Poaceae) and Mugwort (Artemisia) pollen levels, originating from the Central Anatolian steppe and Dikmen Valley.
The city’s basin geography and dry winds can trap pollen; surrounding hills limit air circulation. Autumn and winter see elevated Mould (Alternaria, Cladosporium) spore counts, from decomposing leaf litter in Kuzey Ankara parks and moist garden soil.
