Local Environmental Conditions

A stream or river nearby means riverside trees such as poplar are part of the local pollen picture. The allergenic tree mix nearby includes birch, oak and maple. Grass pollen is significant here, and ragweed and mugwort contribute weed pollen.
Birch, oak and maple lead the season in mid-spring, as temperatures climb to around 5°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Grasses take over in early summer and keep pollen in the air into early fall. The season closes with ragweed and mugwort from late summer into mid-fall. Summer is the wettest time of year, and heavy showers can bring short breaks in pollen.
