Alicante's parks and the Montnegre River corridor feature olive, pine, and palm as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between green areas and the more built-up city centre. Surrounding semi-arid Valencian farmland and citrus groves contribute substantial grass and crop pollen under the hot, dry Mediterranean climate.

When is pollen season in Alicante?
Alicante's pollen season runs from January through June, opening with olive and palm tree pollen in late winter before grass pollen from surrounding semi-arid farmland peaks through April and May. The hot, dry Mediterranean climate means fewer rainfall interruptions than in Atlantic-facing Spanish cities, while the coastal position means onshore Mediterranean breezes can periodically disperse pollen. The hot summer ends the season abruptly.
How often is the Alicante pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Alicante 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 Alicante 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 Alicante, 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.
