Pollen Count & Forecast for Inverness

Spring, March-May, brings high tree pollen: Birch dominant from Ness Islands and city parks; Alder and Willow along River Ness; Oak from surrounding estates. Summer, May-July, sees peak Grass pollen from River Ness floodplains and surrounding agricultural land.

Inverness’s topographical basin, nestled by hills, can trap pollen on calm, warm days; coastal winds, however, often aid dispersion. Autumn, August-October, presents elevated Mould spores from damp leaf decomposition in parks and shaded urban environments, exacerbated by Highland humidity.
