Pollen Count & Forecast for Kyiv
About Pollen in Kyiv
Kyiv’s spring allergy season (March-May) is dominated by Silver Birch (Betula pendula); this species is prolific in Holosiivskyi National Nature Park and Mariinskyi Park. Black Poplar (Populus nigra) is widespread along the Dnieper River; Alder (Alnus) pollen is frequent on Trukhaniv Island. Summer (June-August) sees high Meadow Grass (Poa pratensis) levels; Mugwort (Artemisia) and Ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) originate from Lysa Hora and suburban fields.
The Dnieper River valley acts as a corridor for airborne pollen; high winds carry allergens into central urban districts. Autumn and winter see elevated Mould (Alternaria, Cladosporium) counts; spores come from decaying leaf litter in Feofaniya and damp environments in the Podil neighborhood.
