Pollen forecast Maribor

Maribor lies along the Drava River in northeastern Slovenia, at the foot of Pohorje, with extensive vineyards and orchards on surrounding hillsides. The distinctly continental, Pannonian climate means a pronounced pollen season from early spring to autumn, and the surrounding agricultural areas also favor ragweed.

Main allergens and season

• Late winter and spring (February–May): alder and hazel along the Drava, then birch from Pohorje forests — one of the most pronounced spring allergens in the region.
• Late spring and summer (May–July): grasses from meadows and pastures, and mugwort along roadsides in dry summer.
• Late summer and autumn (August–September): ragweed, which in northeastern Slovenia is more present than in the rest of the country, especially around cultivated surfaces.

Maribor does not have its own measuring station on this service, so the displayed forecast is based on a European CAMS model (via Open-Meteo) — the values are modeled, not measured, but a useful guide for planning outdoor activities.
