Bournemouth's coastal parks, pine-lined streets, and the Stour and Bourne valleys feature pine and oak as distinctive local pollen sources, with exposure varying between these green areas and the more built-up town centre. Onshore winds from the sea can clear pollen, while the surrounding Dorset heathland and farmland contribute heather, grass, and tree pollen when winds blow inland from the north and west.

How often is the Bournemouth pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Bournemouth 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 Bournemouth 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 Bournemouth, 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.
