Pollen Hotspots in Southampton

On the waterfront, high pollen may be less of an issue due to the coastal winds and salt water, which can prevent pollen levels from becoming too high. However, Southampton is also largely surrounded by Hampshire’s lush greenery such as the Itchen Valley Country Park and Lords Wood. During the heat of summer or days when the wind blows unfavourably, the higher pollen levels can make being outdoors insufferable.

Pollen counts in Southampton typically reach their highest levels from mid-spring through to late summer so it’s good to check the hotspots to avoid when out and about.
