Pollen allergies affect many people in Pärnu, Estonia. They occur when the body's immune system reacts to pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds.
In Pärnu, pollen seasons start in early spring and last until late autumn. Tree pollen is the first to appear, typically in late March or early April.
Grass pollen follows in May and June, causing high pollen counts. Weeds produce pollen from July to September, with peak levels in August.
Pollen levels vary daily, depending on weather conditions. Rain and wind can reduce pollen counts, while sunny and dry days increase them.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
