About Pollen in Taunton

Taunton’s spring allergy season, March-May, is dominated by tree pollen; Birch and Oak are primary, abundant in urban green spaces like Vivary Park. Summer, May-July, sees significant grass pollen from extensive riverbank meadows such as Longrun Meadow.

Taunton’s vale topography often traps pollen, elevating local concentrations; particularly during high pressure. Late-season, August-October, mould spores peak, driven by damp leaf litter and decomposition in parks and wooded areas.

The pollen count in Taunton today is V.HI, driven mainly by Mugwort.
