Mavrovo, North Macedonia has pollen seasons that affect people with allergies. Tree pollen season starts in March and ends in May. During this time, birch, oak, and hazelnut trees release pollen into the air.
In June and July, grasses and weeds release pollen, causing allergy symptoms. This period is shorter than the tree pollen season. Symptoms of pollen allergy include sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes.
Pollen counts are usually highest on warm, sunny days with little wind. They are lowest on cool, rainy days. Pollen counts are typically highest in the morning and lowest at night.
Knowing the pollen seasons and daily pollen counts can help people with allergies plan their daily activities. Staying indoors on high-pollen days and using air purifiers can reduce allergy symptoms.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
