Why Metro Vancouver’s 2025 Pollen Season Could Be the Worst Ever

If you’ve been sneezing nonstop lately, you’re not alone. Experts confirm that Metro Vancouver’s 2025 pollen season is shaping up to be the worst on record—and it’s not just your imagination. Allergy sufferers, get ready: this year, tissues and antihistamines might become your best friends.

A Sneezing Season Like No Other

Across Metro Vancouver, people who never had allergies before are suddenly sniffling. The reason? Pollen levels are skyrocketing, and more residents are developing sensitivities every year. As a result, you may want to stock up on allergy meds and keep those tissues handy all summer long.

The Heat Is On—And So Is the Pollen

What’s behind this pollen explosion? Climate change plays a starring role. As temperatures rise and summers get hotter, plants produce more pollen than ever. Then, dry winds scoop up that pollen and spread it everywhere—including right into your nose. With more pollen in the air, the risk of developing new allergies goes up, too. Sadly, experts warn that pollen seasons are only going to get longer and more intense in the years ahead.

What’s the Pollen Outlook Right Now?

On Thursday, pollen levels in Vancouver are moderate to very low, according to The Weather Network. If you’re a tree pollen sufferer, today is a great day to get outside and enjoy the fresh air. However, grass pollen is a different story. The Weather Network recommends taking extra precautions if you’re sensitive to grass pollen:

  • Shower and wash your hair after spending time outdoors

  • Wear sunglasses and a cap to protect your face and eyes

  • Wash clothes you’ve worn outside

  • Opt for glasses instead of contact lenses

A Silver Lining: Low Pollen Weekend Ahead

Looking for some relief? The weekend forecast calls for very low pollen counts, giving allergy sufferers a much-needed break. If you’ve been cooped up indoors, now’s the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors without the sneezing and itching.
