Grasses hold from late May into July, peaking in late spring and early summer. This month sits outside the usual grass pollen window for the Atlantic West pattern, so today’s grass pollen reading is the modelled value outranking the calendar — this page reports the modelled reading first. No United Kingdom allergy season guide is published yet, so the seasonal context here follows the Atlantic West regional pattern.
