Whitehaven sits in Cumbria and takes its pollen pattern from the North West England forecast region. Around 22,900 people live here. Hay fever sufferers should track all three pollen types from March through August.
Tree pollen here is dominated by silver birch, oak and alder, with grass led by ryegrass and cocksfoot and weeds by nettle.
Tree pollen typically peaks in April. Grass counts are highest from June into early July. Damper conditions can suppress airborne grains, but birch can spike sharply on dry April days.
