Trees start releasing pollen in Barnstaple in February. This is when silver birch, hazel, and alder trees spread their pollen into the air.

In March, more trees join in. Oak, elm, and plane trees add to the amount of pollen in the air. This makes the pollen count go up.

The pollen count gets even higher in April and May. Grasses start releasing their pollen, making it worse for people who react to pollen. This is the peak pollen season in Barnstaple.

By June, the pollen count starts to go down. Fewer trees and grasses are releasing pollen. The air is cleaner, and it's easier to breathe.
