The stretch of open moorland nearby is a notable secondary source, feeding pollen into town whenever the wind shifts to the the surrounding hills. On top of that, oak and ash are the two species driving most tree pollen in Bridgend, especially around parks and green corridors. Seasonal peaks tend to track the wider regional pattern, tree pollen leading in spring and grass through summer.

How often is the Bridgend pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Bridgend 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 Bridgend 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 Bridgend, 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.
