Sarasota Pollen Report
Sarasota's subtropical Gulf climate means plants barely stop pollinating. Oak and pine cover the area in late winter, Bahia grass runs from spring through fall, ragweed carries autumn, and Gulf humidity keeps mold spores active in essentially every month. Allergy season here is year-round with peaks, not a season with an end.

What drives allergies in Sarasota
Trees: oak and pine (January – April)
Live oak (Quercus virginiana) is Sarasota's biggest tree allergen, with pine, cedar, and bayberry contributing from January onward.
Grasses: Bahia and Bermuda (March – November)
Bahia grass (Paspalum notatum) — the standard Florida roadside and lawn grass — pollinates for most of the year.
Weeds: ragweed (August – November)
Ragweed pollinates through the fall, overlapping with grass season and post-rainy-season mold.
Mold: Gulf humidity year-round
Warm, humid air keeps Alternaria and Cladosporium active in every month, with peaks after the summer rainy season and tropical storms.

Rain feeds mold and bursts spores into the air, and Sarasota's rainy season overlaps with grass season — post-storm spikes are common.
