May is a double whammy month with trees and grass releasing high levels of pollen everywhere.
Grass pollen is high in the South during the late spring and early summer, but the specific month is not mentioned, however, it is mentioned that June allergies are mainly caused by grass pollen like bermuda, rye and cat.

From May until July grass pollen forms the bulk of the UK’s pollen load. Research suggests that with increasing temperatures, oak and grass pollen seasons may start even earlier, meaning that some allergy sufferers could begin to experience hay fever and other reactions as early as January/February. A changing climate will mean changes in temperature and rainfall may lengthen the UK pollen season and potentially make pollen concentrations higher. It’s possible that climate change will lead to changes in the potency of pollen – a single pollen particle can have varying amounts of the allergy causing agent on it. The pollen season in the UK has traditionally had 3 distinct but overlapping phases: From about March until May, the blossoming of trees such as hazel and birch creates the first wave of symptoms for some pollen allergy sufferers. Longer and more intense pollen seasons are something that we are beginning to experience in the UK.
