UK Pollen Calendar

Generally speaking there are three main groups of culprits that release their pollen during different parts of the spring and summer. These are the trees, grasses and weeds all of which release allergy causing pollen grains. The timing and severity of the pollen season does vary from year to year depending on weather conditions. Timings will also vary slightly according to region.
