Weekly pollen and fungal spore forecast summary
Pollen Forecast for West Midlands forecast region until 31st July: Pollen: low risk for all pollen types in this region; Spores: Moderate risk from various types.
Grass Pollen Count - Low
Grass pollen season is now in decline, with almost all grasses completley finished.
Tree Pollen Count - Low
Tree pollen is currently very low.
Fungal Spore Levels - Moderate
Although we are now in the peak period for spores, the very dry weather is keeping the numbers at a generally moderate risk.
Alternaria and Cladosporium will be the main spore allergens during warm, dry weather. Didymella and allies will rise during warm and humid conditions, especially at night and in the early morning.
Once a spell of rain lasting a few days has occurred, which will encourage more fungi to produce more spores, the risk will increase to high. No rain in the forecast for this time period, though, so the risk will be moderate for now.
Weed Pollen Count - Moderate
Moderate to low risk from nettle family pollen.
