Pollen and allergies — Kraków
Kraków lies in the Vistula valley, with the Błonia meadows, Wolski Forest, and the Rudawa valley in and around the city. Spring tree pollen can combine with pollen carried from nearby farmland, while grasses and weeds become more important in summer.
Main allergens and season
- February–March: hazel and alder, especially near water and on the city’s edges.
- April–May: birch, oak, and ash in woods and parks.
- May–July: grasses on Błonia, meadows, and suburban land.
- August–September: mugwort and ragweed on vacant land and along roads.
The forecast is based on the CAMS model delivered through Open-Meteo. These are modeled, not locally measured values, so the result is orientative. Actual concentrations can differ between districts, especially when the wind changes.
