The pollen season in Vatican City is relatively short, typically lasting from late February to May. The most common pollen-producing plants are grasses, olive trees, and cypress trees.

The city's location in a valley surrounded by mountains can cause localized weather patterns, leading to occasional rain showers and thunderstorms, which can temporarily reduce pollen levels. However, the close proximity of the city to the Mediterranean Sea and its influence on the climate can also lead to higher pollen counts.
