Tree pollen season starts in March. It's usually over by May. Oak, birch, and hazel trees produce a lot of pollen. Pollen spreads far in the wind.

Grass pollen season starts in May. It's the worst in June and July. Grass pollen counts are high when it's warm and dry. Windy days make pollen counts worse.

Weed pollen season starts in August. It's usually not as bad as tree and grass pollen. Some weeds produce pollen until October. Rain helps to wash pollen away.
