Pollen allergies affect many people in Bergen, Netherlands. Grass, tree, and weed pollen cause symptoms like sneezing, runny noses, and itchy eyes.
Tree pollen season starts in March and lasts until May. Birch and hazelnut trees are the main culprits. Pollen counts are highest on windy days.
Grass pollen season begins in May and ends in July. This is the longest and most intense pollen season. Many people experience severe symptoms during this time.
Weed pollen season starts in July and lasts until September. Ragweed and nettles are the main causes of allergy symptoms. Humid weather makes pollen counts worse.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
