University of Worcester's pollen forecast and fungal spore forecast for the UK.
Weekly pollen and fungal spore forecast summary
Due to popular demand our forecasts are back.
Forecast to 20 December 2024: Pollen: very low; Spores: Low in far north to Moderate elsewhere.
Grass Pollen Count - Low
Grass pollen season is over and will resume next Spring.
Tree Pollen Count - Low
Cedar of Lebanon produces pollen at this time of year, which can leave yellow dust on surfaces and which may trigger allergy in a very small minority of spore sufferers.
Fungal Spore Levels - Moderate
During December, the spore risk will be low to moderate, with the greater risk on mild, dry days. Some species of Aspergillus/Penicillium (but not the most allergenic types) and Basidiospores (from mushrooms) will be the main allergens airborne. The risk will be greater in South-west and Midlands and lowest in upland areas of Scotland and the far north of England.
Weed Pollen Count - Low
Weed pollen season is over and will resume next Spring.
