According to the five-day outlook, ambrosia, artemisia, and grass pollen levels will increase later in the week.

On 30 August 2026, Ambrosia is the dominant pollen source in Cornwall. grass and artemisia are also present but at lower levels. cypress are not currently active.

Water-edge hazel and willow are usually the first allergenic trees active here, topping out well before most other trees start releasing pollen, around February and March. Oak and birch in the woodland come next, through the heart of spring, reaching maximum intensity across the April-May window. Through late spring, grass pollen climbs steadily toward its June peak, then yields to ragweed, the dominant late-summer and fall allergen through October.

The Cornwall pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

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.

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 Cornwall, 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.
