Early summer follows spring and stays active in June. Grass pollen is often high then. Wild grasses and meadow plants release many tiny grains. Some trees may still add pollen, but grass becomes the main source during this warm time.

Late summer lasts through July and August. Pollen from weeds becomes more important. Plants such as mugwort and other wild herbs release pollen in dry places. The hot days and light winds can carry this pollen across hills and streets.

Autumn in Gjirokastër usually has less pollen than spring or summer. September can still bring weed pollen, especially from ragweed in some places. By October, most plants have stopped. Cooler weather and fewer flowers mean the air holds much less pollen.
