Bansko, Bulgaria has three pollen seasons: tree pollen (March to May), grass pollen (June to July), and weed pollen (August to October). Each season lasts several weeks.

Trees like oak, birch, and hazelnut release pollen in spring. Grasses like timothy, orchard, and brome release pollen in summer. Weeds like nettle, sorrel, and dock release pollen in autumn.

High pollen counts occur on hot, dry, and windy days. Pollen counts are lower on cool, rainy, and cloudy days. Stay indoors during peak pollen hours to reduce exposure.
