This mix of urban and rural influence gives Colne a fairly typical pollen pattern for the wider region. That's on top of birch and oak, which are the main local tree pollen sources around Colne's parks and quieter streets. Local farmland and hedgerows nearby add meaningful grass pollen through late spring and summer, especially under moist Atlantic fronts.

How often is the Colne pollen forecast updated?

The Colne pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Does pollen in Colne 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 Colne 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 Colne, 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.
