Cannock's parks, including Cannock Chase, feature oak and birch as the main tree pollen sources alongside extensive heathland grass and heather, with exposure varying between the extensive Chase woodland and heathland and the more built-up town centre. Cannock Chase is a particularly significant local pollen source, while surrounding Staffordshire farmland contributes additional grass pollen under prevailing southwesterly winds.

How often is the Cannock pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Cannock 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 Cannock 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 Cannock, 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.
