Grass Pollen Count - Low
Most grasses are completely finished now.
Tree Pollen Count - Low
No tree pollen at the current time.
Fungal Spore Levels - Moderate
Peak period for spores now, with Alternaria, Cladosporium, Epicoccum and Aspergillus during warm, dry weather. However, the hot, dry conditions are suppressing the spore risk, as fungi need rainfall or high humidity to produce spores, and there's little chance of that happening during this forecast period.
Weed Pollen Count - Moderate
Moderate weed pollen risk from nettle family pollen, mugwort and ragweed. Hot, dry weather is affecting the plants and the risk may be lower than average.
