About Pollen in Banbury

Banbury’s spring (March-May) is dominated by tree pollen, primarily Birch and Oak, sourced from urban green spaces like People’s Park, Spiceball Park, and mature street trees; summer (May-July) sees peak grass pollen concentrations originating from the River Cherwell’s floodplains and surrounding agricultural meadows.

The town’s valley topography, particularly the Cherwell corridor, can trap and concentrate airborne allergens; autumn (September-November) features elevated mould spore levels from damp leaf litter and organic decomposition in parks and shaded environs.
