Pollen and allergies — Napoli

Naples faces the gulf and is surrounded by hills, dense development and Mediterranean vegetation. Sea breezes, local winds and terrain can create differences between the coast and inland areas, so the page should be used as guidance for the urban area.

Periods and allergens to watch

  • Winter and spring: alder and other trees can start early after mild periods.
  • Late spring: grasses and plants of open ground become more relevant.
  • Spring to summer: olive is an allergen to consider in Campania’s landscape, without treating botanical context as a local measurement.
  • Summer and late summer: mugwort and ragweed can occur along roads, neglected land and construction sites.

Naples uses the CAMS model through Open-Meteo: values are modeled, not measured by a local station in this service, at approximately 11 km resolution. The model covers six species; cypress, parietaria and other Mediterranean taxa are not included in the CAMS series shown here.

Conditions differ between the waterfront, hillside neighbourhoods and farmland inland: elevation, wind and vegetation all change. A hot day may feel different by the gulf than on a route inland. If you plan sport, a walk or outdoor work, use the forecast as a preparation signal and check local conditions. It is not a street-level sampling result.
