Pollen Count & Forecast for Peterborough

Spring allergy season, March to May, sees high Birch and Oak pollen counts; originating from extensive mature tree populations within Ferry Meadows Country Park, Nene Park, and city street trees. June through August, abundant Grass pollen dominates; derived from River Nene floodplains, Thorpe Meadows, and widespread suburban lawns.

Peterborough’s low-lying river valleys and urban heat island effect can trap and concentrate airborne allergens, intensifying local impact. Late autumn to winter brings elevated mould spore levels; fuelled by damp leaf decomposition in Central Park, other green spaces, and riverside vegetation.
