In Ghent, Belgium, pollen seasons happen every year. There are three main seasons: tree pollen, grass pollen, and weed pollen. Each season has its own time.

Tree pollen season starts in March and ends in May. During this time, trees like oak, birch, and hazel release pollen into the air. This makes some people feel uncomfortable.

Grass pollen season is from May to July. Many types of grasses release pollen, which can be a problem for some people. This season is usually the worst for pollen.

Weed pollen season is from July to September. Weeds like nettle, sorrel, and dock release pollen. This season is not as bad as the grass pollen season, but still causes issues for some.
