Pollen forecast Popovača

Popovača lies in Moslavina, between the slopes of Moslavačka mountain and the Lonjsko Polje lowland plain. The combination of hilly forests and wet Posavina lowlands gives the city both spring tree pollen and a strong summer season of grasses and ragweed.

Main allergens and season

• Spring (March–May): birch, ash, hornbeam and oak from Moslavina forests; along waterways alder, willow and field ash from the Lonjsko Polje floodplain.
• Late spring and summer (May–July): grasses from meadows and pastures.
• Late summer and autumn (August–September): ragweed along crop fields, roads and abandoned plots — typical for continental Croatia.

Weather significantly changes pollen exposure, so risk assessment is calculated from pollen and current weather forecast together.
