Ragusa's parks and the Ippari River corridor feature olive, carob, and lentisk as the main pollen sources in the heart of the Sicilian Iblean plateau, with exposure varying between these green areas and the more built-up city centre. Surrounding Sicilian farmland and the Iblean plateau scrubland contribute substantial grass and scrub pollen, while the hot, dry Mediterranean climate concentrates pollen dispersal during spring.

When is pollen season in Ragusa?
Ragusa's pollen season opens in January with olive and carob before grass from surrounding Sicilian Iblean plateau farmland peaks through April and May. The hot, dry Mediterranean summer ends the season abruptly, while the flat, open Iblean plateau allows pollen to disperse widely and carob is a particularly locally distinctive pollen source in the historic Baroque city.
How often is the Ragusa pollen forecast updated?

The Ragusa pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Does pollen in Ragusa come from nearby or far away?

Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.

Are pollen levels in Ragusa based on measurements or forecasts?

Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.

Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Ragusa, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.

This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.
