Pollen on Weather & Radar
Tree pollen flies early

Pollen season returns each year to deliver sore eyes and sniffling noses, stay a step ahead with the pollen feature on Weather & Radar.

Find detailed information on which pollen is flying today and in the coming days with the pollen feature accessible on the home page.

Not only can you see if pollen is in the air, but specifically which forms. Right now we see many types of tree pollen at high levels, earlier than expected, with the peak of grass and weed pollen season still to come later in the year.

There are three defined periods of the pollen season. This is started by tree pollen, as we see now with elevated levels of hazel and alder pollens. Historically this begins in March, though levels are already elevated now in early February.

Following this we see levels of grass pollen rise from around May into July before weed pollens become dominant through until September.
