In Hull’s many parks, grass, tree and weed pollen counts are likely to be more intense at key times of year. If you’re heading to Pearson Park, Pickering Park, East Park or Humber Bridge Country Park, you might find counts are higher than elsewhere. Hull’s fringes are specked with golf courses where the same is true.
Pollen counts are generally lower close to the coast, because moist sea winds blow allergens away. This means you may find the effects of pollen aren’t so impactful east of Hull.
In wild zones, including those close to the Humber, greater biodiversity could lead to the presence of more pollen types. Monitor pollen counts in Hull to get an overview, but keep in mind that conditions may vary.
