Sicily's mild climate and varied flora make it a haven for pollen-producing plants. This leads to intense pollen seasons, causing discomfort for many residents and visitors.

The main pollen season in Sicily starts in February with olive and almond trees blooming. In March and April, birch, cypress, and pine trees release their pollen.

Grasses and weeds start producing pollen in May and June, causing peak allergy symptoms. This period is typically the worst for pollen allergy sufferers in Sicily.

In July and August, pollen counts decrease as many plants enter their dormant phase. However, some plants like ragweed continue to produce pollen, affecting those with severe allergies.
