Pollen Count & Forecast for Bournemouth

Bournemouth’s spring allergy season, typically March-May, is dominated by tree pollen: Birch, Alder, and Oak are prevalent, stemming from established urban woodlands including Bournemouth Gardens and Queen’s Park; summer (May-July) sees high grass pollen counts originating from extensive parkland, local verges, and the wider Stour Valley catchment.

Coastal breezes can offer temporary relief; however, sheltered chine valleys like Alum Chine and Boscombe Chine can trap pollen, concentrating local levels; autumn (September-November) sees increased mould spore activity, generated by decaying leaf litter and damp conditions prevalent in wooded areas and the chine systems.
