Pollen Count & Forecast for Kettering

Kettering’s allergy profile peaks March-July. Birch, Alder, and Oak pollen dominate spring (March-May), originating from mature trees within Rockingham Road Pleasure Park, Bassett’s Close, and residential avenues. Grass pollen follows (May-July), widely dispersed from local playing fields, roadside verges, and agricultural fringes, particularly near the River Ise and Slade Brook corridors.

Kettering’s urban environment, including its parks and streetscapes, can concentrate airborne pollen; prevailing westerly winds from surrounding farmland contribute significantly to overall levels. Late-season mould spores increase October-November, primarily due to damp leaf litter decomposition within local woodlands and humid conditions along the town’s watercourse banks.
