Pollen Count & Forecast for Wuhan

Wuhan’s spring (March-May) is dominated by London Plane (Platanus x acerifolia) and Willow (Salix) pollen; Plane trees are common along Jiefang Avenue and near the Yellow Crane Tower. Poplar (Populus) contributes significantly from East Lake and the Yangtze River banks. Autumn (August-October) sees high Mugwort (Artemisia) and Short Ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) pollen, originating from Mulan Mountain and suburban plains.

The humid river valley and high urban density trap airborne particles; stagnant air is frequent in central Hankou districts. Year-round humidity sees elevated Mould (Alternaria, Aspergillus) spore counts, from damp riverfronts and wet leaf litter in Moshan Hill forests.
