In Coatbridge, alder and birch dominate the local tree pollen picture, with parks and tree-lined residential streets offering more exposure than the compact centre. Local farmland and hedgerows nearby add meaningful grass pollen through late spring and summer, especially under prevailing westerlies. This combination means residents feel both urban and rural pollen sources depending on which way the wind's blowing.

Does pollen in Coatbridge 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 Coatbridge 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 Coatbridge, 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.
