Birkirkara, Malta has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Pollen seasons vary, with grass pollen peaking in late spring and weed pollen in autumn.
The island's location in the central Mediterranean results in moderate temperatures, ranging from 8°C in winter to 30°C in summer. Rainfall is more common in winter, which helps lower pollen counts.
Malta's flora consists of various trees, grasses, and weeds, leading to year-round pollen exposure. However, the lowest counts are typically in winter, and highest in spring and autumn. Coastal breezes can also affect pollen distribution.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
