Spring is the busiest tree pollen time. Many trees are growing leaves and flowers then. Birch is a major pollen source. Plane trees and pine can add more pollen too. Breezy weather can carry pollen across town and along the coast.
Late spring and early summer bring grass pollen. This is often the main pollen time in Ilfracombe. Grasses in fields, parks, and gardens release pollen. Ryegrass and meadow grasses are common. Dry, sunny days help grass pollen move through the air.
Late summer and early autumn can bring weed pollen. Nettle and dock may release pollen then. Mugwort can also appear in some places. Pollen levels usually drop as days get cooler and wetter. By autumn, most tree and grass pollen is over.
