Local Environmental Conditions
The area around the heart of Franklin is mostly farmland, with some woodland and open grassland. The damp ground beside a watercourse nearby supports trees, shrubs and reeds, adding to local pollen. Around here, open grassland and farmland add grass and weed pollen. Pasture and uncultivated field edges in the farmland provide room for grasses and weeds.
Tree pollen comes first, peaking in mid-spring. Grasses take over in late spring, with temperatures around 15°C, and their pollen lingers into early fall. Weeds on open ground add a smaller late peak from early summer into early fall. Summer is the wettest time of year, and heavy showers can bring short breaks in pollen. By late fall, as temperatures fall to around freezing, pollen levels are low again.
