About Pollen in Gateshead

Gateshead’s allergy profile commences in spring (March-May) with dominant Birch and Oak pollen originating from Saltwell Park and urban street trees; this transitions to high summer (May-July) with pervasive Grass pollen from River Tyne embankments and local green spaces. The Tyne Valley’s topography can trap airborne allergens, intensifying local concentrations; late-season allergies (September-November) feature Mould spores, prevalent near decaying leaf litter in parks and damp urban environments.

The pollen count in Gateshead today is moderate, driven mainly by Mugwort.
