Tree pollen season in Galway starts in March and ends in May. During this time, trees like oak, birch, and hazel release pollen into the air. This makes the air filled with tiny particles.

Grass pollen season starts in May and lasts until July. This is the worst time for people with pollen allergies. Grasses release lots of pollen, making it hard to breathe.

Weed pollen season starts in June and ends in August. Weeds like nettle and dock release pollen, making the air filled with tiny particles again. This makes summer days difficult.

Pollen levels are highest on windy and sunny days. Rainy days are better because rain washes pollen away. Checking the pollen forecast can help people plan their days.
