Enter your postcode to find out the pollen count in Sheffield today. Use Your Pollen Pal to check whether certain areas of the city might trigger your hay fever.
Keep track of the pollen forecast in Sheffield over the next few days. That way, you’ll know what to expect from your hay fever allergy when making plans. Monitor the upcoming pollen levels, so you know whether to plan a trip to the Peak District or stick to shopping in Meadowhall.
Don’t let Sheffield’s industrial reputation fool you. While the “Steel City” might be filled with urban streets, contemporary galleries and former factories, an impressive 61% of Sheffield is actually green space.
With more than 250 public parks, gardens and ancient woodlands dotted throughout the city, the tree pollen count for Sheffield can be quite high. In fact, it’s estimated that there are more than 4.5 million trees within the city – that’s more trees per person than any other European city.
You’ll find a whole host of different species, from towering sessile oaks to common silver birch. While this might make Sheffield one of the greenest cities in the UK, species like the silver birch can cause some serious sniffles for hay fever sufferers – especially in April and May.
Around a third of Sheffield also sits within the Peak District National Park, so you can expect the pollen levels to be high in this area too.
Looking for things to do when the pollen levels in Sheffield are a little too high to handle? You’re in luck. There are a range of indoor and outdoor activities that can give you a break from the sniffles, without missing out on the fun.
