Alder, ash and yew pollen were high last week (18 - 24 March). We are starting to see birch pollen and levels are likely to rise soon (26 March). 

Total fungal spore levels are low currently, however on wet days last week it did rise to moderate. Cladosporium and Alternaria are below the allergenic threshold (26 March). 

We are currently outside the Grass pollen season. Reporting will start again in May 2025.

We are currently outside weed pollen season. Reporting will start again when the season picks up in June 2025.
