Madrid, Spain has a Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and cool winters. Spring is pollen season, with grasses and trees releasing allergens.
Spring sees peak pollen levels, especially from February to May, with grasses, olive trees, and plane trees being the main culprits. Winds can spread pollen further, increasing exposure.
Air quality and low rainfall can affect pollen concentrations. Summer and autumn see lower pollen counts, but some plants like ragweed can still cause issues for allergy sufferers.
