Local Environmental Conditions
Locals with allergies tend to plan around two peaks a year rather than one long stretch. That's on top of birch and lime, which are the main local tree pollen sources around Chatteris's parks and quieter streets. Grass pollen from surrounding Cambridgeshire fields is significant through the summer months, carried in by shifting coastal winds.
So here's the rundown for Chatteris: birch pollen shows up first, then lime takes over. Grass season overlaps a lot of this too, running May through September and peaking mid-summer. Birch pollen typically runs from March to May, with lime picking up between May and July. Handy to bear in mind before booking that garden party.

Does pollen in Chatteris 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 Chatteris 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 Chatteris, 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 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
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. |
