Species driving Helmsdale’s grass pollen

The modelled data reports grass as one combined index — there is no species-by-species split for grass anywhere in the data, so this page does not invent one. Today’s modelled grass index for Helmsdale is 21 (Low), and the 5-day overall trend above shows the shape of the week.

As regional context only — not as today’s readings — in the Atlantic West pattern, the plants that typically shape this city’s year are early hazel and alder, a spring birch and oak wave, late-spring and summer grasses, and a modest late-summer weed finish.
