About Pollen in Scunthorpe

Scunthorpe’s allergy profile initiates with high spring tree pollen (March-May): Birch and Oak predominantly from Central Park, Kingsway Gardens, and adjacent woodland; summer transitions to pervasive grass pollen (June-July) sourced from local playing fields and agricultural land, amplified by River Trent proximity and prevailing westerly winds.

Urban microclimates, particularly within the town centre’s built environment, trap and concentrate airborne particulates. Late autumn (September-November) experiences elevated mould spore levels, stemming from damp leaf litter decomposition in parkland margins and residential gardens.

The pollen count in Scunthorpe today is moderate, driven mainly by Mugwort.
