Turkey's Pollen Seasons
Tree pollen appears at different times in Turkey. Alder releases pollen in March. Birch pollen follows from April through June. Olive trees release pollen in May and June, and olive pollen is the most common type across the year.
Grass pollen season lasts from April through July. It overlaps with birch pollen in April, May, and June, and with olive pollen in May and June. May is the busiest month for pollen in Turkey.
Weed pollen arrives later in the year. Mugwort releases pollen from July through September. Ragweed pollen season comes in August and September. These late-season weeds add to the mix after many tree and grass seasons have begun or ended.
Pollen seasons overlap, so several kinds can be present in the same month. For example, May includes birch, grass, and olive pollen. Pollen can affect people with allergies, and levels and timing may differ from place to place.
