Local Environmental Conditions
The area around the center of Billingshurst is a mix of woodland and open grassland, plus a good deal of built-up land. Oak, hazel and ash are among the allergenic trees nearby. Grass pollen is significant here, and plantain and pigweed contribute weed pollen. Street trees, private gardens and mown lawns add to local pollen in the more built-up surroundings.
Hazel opens the pollen season in late winter. Oak and ash follow in late spring, as temperatures climb to around 15°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Grasses take over in early summer and keep pollen in the air into late summer. The season closes with plantain and pigweed from late spring into late summer. By early winter, as temperatures fall to around 5°C, pollen levels are low again.

How often is the Billingshurst pollen forecast updated?
The Billingshurst pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Billingshurst 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 Billingshurst 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 Billingshurst, 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. |
