pollen season

Sneezing calendar period

Pollen season is the period when plants release pollen into the air, triggering allergies in susceptible people.

The timing varies by region and plant type—tree pollen peaks in spring, grass in early summer, ragweed in fall.

My allergies are terrible during pollen season.

The phrase often appears in weather forecasts and allergy medication advertisements.
