Weed pollen is less talked about than grass pollen, but it can keep hay fever symptoms going late into summer. Nettle, mugwort and plantain are common UK triggers. The season usually runs from June to September, overlapping with late grass pollen and mould spores. People who feel worse after grass pollen has eased should check weed pollen and mould spore forecasts.
