Pollen Count & Forecast for Newham

Newham’s seasonal allergy profile: Birch (March-May) and Oak (April-June) pollen dominate spring, originating from mature trees within Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Wanstead Flats, and numerous urban green spaces; summer peaks with Grass pollen (May-July) from extensive playing fields, urban meadows, and River Lea floodplains.

Local urban topography, including buildings and waterways, can trap and concentrate airborne pollen; autumn introduces heightened mould spore levels (August-November) from damp leaf litter decomposition in parks and along the River Thames/Lea corridors.
