About Pollen in Wakefield

Spring tree pollen in Wakefield peaks March-May: Birch, Oak, and Alder originate from mature trees in Thornes Park, Clarence Park, and urban green spaces. Grass pollen dominates May-July, dispersing from River Calder floodplains, Pugneys Country Park meadows, and surrounding agricultural areas.

Wakefield’s Calder River valley geography can concentrate airborne pollen; still conditions intensify local accumulation. Late-season mould spores peak September-November, fostered by decaying leaf litter and damp environments within Newmillerdam Country Park and canal towpaths.

The pollen count in Wakefield today is moderate, driven mainly by Western Ragweed.
