Pollen seasons in Polis, Cyprus typically start in February and last until August. Trees release pollen first, followed by grasses and weeds.
Olive, cypress, and pine trees are common allergy triggers. They release pollen in February and March, causing symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes.
Grasses and weeds bloom in May and June, releasing more pollen into the air. This peak season can worsen symptoms for people with pollen allergies.
Planning outdoor activities is important. Avoiding peak pollen hours, wearing masks, and staying indoors can help reduce exposure to pollen allergens.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
