Pollen forecast Šibenik

Šibenik lies in central Dalmatia, at the mouth of the Krka river, surrounded by rocky karst landscape, olive groves and Mediterranean scrubland. The pollen profile is typically coastal — olive, wall pellitory and cypress instead of continental grasses and ragweed.

Main allergens and season

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

Dry, sunny and windy weather aids pollen dispersal, so risk assessment is calculated together with weather forecast.
