About Pollen in Barking and Dagenham

Barking and Dagenham experiences significant seasonal allergy peaks: late February through May sees high tree pollen counts, with Hazel and Alder originating from early-budding trees in Barking Park and Mayesbrook Park; Birch pollen follows, peaking March-April, and Oak into May, sourced from mature trees across urban green spaces. May through July features abundant grass pollen, prevalent along the River Roding banks, Beam Parklands, and Dagenham Chase.

Urban geographical features, including built-up areas and river valleys, can trap and concentrate pollen, influencing localised levels. Autumn and winter bring increased mould spore activity, generated from decomposing leaf litter and damp conditions found within Eastbrookend Country Park and other shaded, low-lying zones.

The pollen count in Barking and Dagenham today is moderate, driven mainly by Perennial Ryegrass.
