Pollen forecast Pula

Pula lies at the southern tip of the Istrian peninsula, surrounded by olive groves, vineyards and Mediterranean scrubland. Mild coastal climate gives the city an early season start and a pollen profile typical for the Adriatic — olive, wall pellitory and cypress.

Main allergens and season

• Late winter and early spring (January–March): cypresses and other cypress species (Cupressaceae).
• Spring (April–June): olive as the leading spring allergen of Istrian coast.
• Spring to autumn (March–October): wall pellitory (Parietaria) on stone walls and in crevices, with a long season.

Maestral and other coastal winds change pollen concentration, so risk assessment is calculated together with weather forecast.
