Local Environmental Conditions
The center of Southgate London sits among a blend of built-up land and woodland. Oak is the most prominent allergenic tree nearby, with ash and maple also present. Grass pollen is significant here, and plantain and mugwort contribute weed pollen. Oak is unusually common here compared with most other locations, making it a particularly important local pollen source.
Oak, ash and maple lead the season in late spring, as temperatures climb to around 15°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Grass pollen follows, peaking in early summer and easing off by late summer. The season closes with plantain and mugwort from late spring into late summer. The oak period in late spring is usually the most intense time of year here.
