Why Allergies Are Worse in Concord
Concord sits along the Merrimack River in central New Hampshire, where floodplain maple forests, surrounding hardwood canopy, and river-valley temperature inversions create concentrated spring pollen exposure.
Merrimack Floodplain Maple Forest
Dense sugar maple and red maple stands along the Merrimack River floodplain, combined with sugarbush operations on surrounding hills, produce concentrated early-spring maple pollen across Concord.
River Valley Pollen Trapping
The Merrimack Valley's geography traps tree pollen in temperature inversions, keeping pollen concentrations elevated during calm spring mornings.
Mud Season Mold
Concord's March–April thaw produces saturated soils and rotting leaf litter, triggering an early mold surge before tree pollen season begins.
