Abertawe (Swansea) sits along the bay and Tawe estuary, where coastal breezes can disperse urban pollen. Oak and birch are common in parks such as Brynmill Park and along suburban streets, with exposure varying between greener areas and the more built-up city centre. Inland, the Brecon Beacons and surrounding Welsh valleys contribute significant tree and grass pollen that moves into the city when winds blow from the north and east.

How often is the Abertawe pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Abertawe 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 Abertawe 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 Abertawe, 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.
