About Pollen in Canterbury

Early spring sees Hazel and Alder pollen from Canterbury’s urban trees and surrounding woodlands; mid-spring peaks with Birch and Oak, concentrated in Dane John Gardens and Westgate Parks. Summer brings significant grass pollen from River Stour meadows and adjacent agricultural fields, peaking late May through July.

Canterbury’s valley topography, particularly along the Great Stour, can trap pollen, intensifying local concentrations. Autumn and winter see elevated mould spore levels, stemming from damp conditions along waterways and decaying organic matter in historic gardens and surrounding woods.

The pollen count in Canterbury today is HIGH, driven mainly by Mugwort.
