Local Environmental Conditions
Open grassland and built-up land share the area around this site in Cheltenham, plus a good deal of woodland. Close to a stream or river, riverside trees such as plane tree contribute to what is in the air. Common allergenic trees nearby include oak, plane tree and cypress. Grasses and weeds such as pigweed and plantain round out the local mix.
The pollen year starts in late winter, when cypress flowers. Tree pollen peaks in mid-spring, when the weather warms to around 15°C and oak and plane tree are in full flower. Grass pollen follows, peaking in early summer and easing off by early fall. Pigweed and plantain bring a final peak from early summer into early fall. Rain is heaviest in spring, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels.

How often is the Cheltenham pollen forecast updated?
The Cheltenham pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Cheltenham come from nearby or far away?
Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.
Are pollen levels in Cheltenham based on measurements or forecasts?
Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.
Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Cheltenham, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.
This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
