Trees in Krym produce pollen from March to May. Birch, oak, and hazelnut trees are the most common allergy triggers. They release massive amounts of pollen into the air.
Grasses and weeds pollinate from May to July. This period is shorter but more intense. Ragweed, one of the main allergy-causing plants, blooms during this time.
Pollen counts are usually highest on warm, sunny days with low humidity. Wind can spread pollen far and wide, making symptoms worse.
Residents and tourists should stay indoors on peak pollen days. Keeping windows closed and using air conditioning can help reduce exposure to allergenic pollen.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
