Why Allergies Are Worse in Savannah
Savannah's coastal location on the Savannah River estuary surrounded by salt marshes and tidal flats creates one of Georgia's most humidity-saturated environments, where year-round mold dominates alongside seasonal tree and weed pollen.
Salt Marsh Mold Production
Extensive salt marshes along the Savannah River estuary and Wassaw Sound generate organic matter and tidal pluff mud that feed year-round Cladosporium and Alternaria mold production.
Coastal Subtropical Humidity
Near-constant humidity from the Atlantic Ocean and Savannah River sustains outdoor mold and prevents pollen from dispersing, extending allergy seasons.
Live Oak Canopy
Savannah's iconic live oak canopy in the historic district produces concentrated early-spring pollen at street level, with Spanish moss trapping additional moisture.
