About Pollen in Sunderland

Sunderland’s seasonal allergy profile: Spring (March-May) sees dominant Birch and Oak pollen, originating from mature trees within Herrington Country Park, Barnes Park, and urban avenues; Summer (May-July) transitions to high Grass pollen, primarily from River Wear floodplains, Roker Park’s open spaces, and surrounding agricultural land.

The city’s urban environment and coastal proximity can concentrate pollen, with westerly winds often transporting allergens. Autumn (September-November) brings elevated Mould spore levels, largely due to decaying organic matter in damp parklands, allotments, and residential gardens.
