Spain's Allergy Season Explodes: Record Pollen Levels in 2025

Spain's Unusually Intense Allergy Season: A 2025 Spring Surge This spring, Spain is experiencing an unusually intense allergy season, with pollen levels exceeding those of previous years. The Spanish Society of Allergology and Clinical Immunology (SEAIC) reports that the combination of heavy rainfall in March and unusually warm weather has created the perfect conditions for a pollen surge, affecting nearly all of Spain. The situation is particularly severe in Madrid, where pollen levels are at their highest in 30 years. "This year, the spring has arrived with a vengeance," explains a spokesperson from 20minutos. "The combination of intense rains and recent heat has created the perfect scenario for plants to release more pollen than ever before." The SEAIC advises allergy sufferers to take preventative measures, including wearing masks and sunglasses, and limiting outdoor activities during peak pollen hours. If symptoms persist, they recommend seeking medical advice. The increased pollen levels serve as a stark reminder of the impact of climate change on our environment and health. The SEAIC's ongoing monitoring of pollen levels allows for timely warnings and helps individuals manage their allergies effectively.
