Grass pollen season starts in late May and lasts until July. Grasses release pollen when they grow and make seeds. This season is usually the worst for people.
Some plants, like weeds, release pollen in autumn. This season is usually less severe. Weeds like ragwort and nettle grow in many areas around Sheffield.
Pollen counts can be high on warm, sunny, and windy days. On these days, people might notice more pollen in the air. Rainy days usually bring lower pollen counts.
