Local Environmental Conditions
Woodland makes up around 44% of the area near the heart of Chigwell, with a good deal of open grassland and some built-up land. Common allergenic trees nearby include oak, maple and birch. Grasses and weeds such as plantain round out the local mix. Grasses along roadsides, verges and open ground also add to the overall pollen load.
Oak, maple and birch lead the season in late spring, as temperatures climb to around 15°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Then come the grasses, strongest in early summer and fading by late summer. Later, plantain keeps weed pollen in the air from late spring into late summer. By late fall, as temperatures fall to around 10°C, pollen levels are low again.

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