In Edinburgh, pollen seasons start in late March. This is when trees release their pollen. Birch and oak trees are some of the main culprits. They make lots of pollen.

By late April, grasses start to release their pollen. This is usually the worst time for people with pollen allergies. Grasses are everywhere in Edinburgh, so there's no escaping the pollen.

In June, weeds like nettle and dock start to release their pollen. This is usually the last big burst of pollen for the year. But some weeds can release pollen until September.

By October, pollen seasons are usually over in Edinburgh. The air is much clearer, and people with pollen allergies can finally get some relief. But it's always a good idea to check the pollen forecast just in case!
