Pollen Count & Forecast for Salford, Bury

Salford experiences peak Birch and Alder pollen from March-April, primarily originating from mature trees within its urban parks and along River Irwell banks; April-May introduces significant Oak pollen from larger green spaces, complemented by Plane tree pollen near city centre avenues; May-July sees dominant Grass pollen release from meadows, suburban lawns, and peripheral green areas.

Salford’s urbanisation creates a ‘canyon effect,’ trapping and elevating pollen concentrations within built-up areas, intensifying exposure; late autumn (September-November) yields increased Mould spore counts, largely from decaying leaf litter in damp, shaded zones and by waterways.
