Pollen forecast Poreč

Poreč lies on the western coast of Istria, in an area known for olive groves and vineyards, facing the sea. Mediterranean climate and agricultural landscape give it a coastal pollen profile where olive and wall pellitory predominate, alongside early cypress.

Main allergens and season

• Late winter and early spring (January–March): cypresses (Cupressaceae) from gardens and tree lines.
• Spring (April–June): olive is the main spring allergen — western Istria is very rich in olive groves.
• Spring to autumn (March–October): wall pellitory (Parietaria) with a long season, grows on stone walls and in crevices.

Dry and windy coastal weather aids pollen dispersal, so risk assessment is tied to the current weather forecast.
