Local Environmental Conditions
Built-up land makes up around 43% of the area near this part of East London, with some woodland and open grassland. In the immediate area, tree cover makes trees an important source; open grassland adds grass and weed pollen; street trees, parks and lawns are the main sources in the built-up parts.
Flowering trees bring the first pollen of the year in early spring. Grass pollen follows, peaking in mid-spring and easing off by mid-fall. A smaller weed peak follows from early summer into early fall. Mold spores are in the air most of the year too, rising after rain. Actual levels on any given day depend on the weather, with dry, breezy days the worst and wet days the mildest.

Does pollen in East London 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 East London 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 East London, 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.
