Pollen and allergies — Katowice
Katowice and the neighbouring cities of the Upper Silesian conurbation form a densely built area with large parks, woods, and post-industrial land. Pollen can arrive from many directions, while weather and air quality are additional factors for people with allergies.
Main allergens and season
- February–March: hazel and alder in valleys and woods.
- April–May: birch, ash, and oak in parks and forest complexes.
- May–July: grasses on meadows, vacant land, and the conurbation’s edges.
- August–September: mugwort and ragweed on ruderal land and near railways.
Values come from the CAMS model through Open-Meteo and are modeled, not measured locally. The forecast is orientative; the air-quality index describes an additional irritant, not pollen concentration.
