Pollen Count & Forecast for Hereford, Herefordshire, County of

Hereford’s spring allergen profile (March-May) features dominant Birch and Oak pollen from city parks like Castle Green and surrounding deciduous woodlands; Alder contributes earlier (February-March) along the River Wye banks; summer (May-July) sees high grass pollen levels, particularly from Bishops Meadow, King George V Playing Fields, and surrounding agricultural areas. The Wye Valley’s topographical bowl often traps pollen, increasing local atmospheric concentrations; late-season (August-November) mould spores, exacerbated by Herefordshire’s damp conditions, originate from decaying vegetation and leaf litter prevalent in floodplains and urban green spaces.
