Durham sits in County Durham and takes its pollen pattern from the North East England forecast region. Around 47,800 people live here. Hay fever sufferers should track all three pollen types from March through August.
Tree pollen here is dominated by silver birch, alder and oak, with grass led by ryegrass and cocksfoot and weeds by nettle and plantain.
Tree pollen typically peaks in April. Grass counts are highest from June into early July. Cooler springs push the tree peak slightly later than the south.
