Coventry sees oak and birch as the leading tree pollen contributors, with levels differing noticeably between well-vegetated suburbs and the denser core. The wider Coventry countryside supplies additional tree and grass pollen, particularly when shifting coastal winds carry it toward the built-up area. Seasonal peaks tend to track the wider regional pattern, tree pollen leading in spring and grass through summer.

Then grass pollen takes the baton from May all the way to September, usually peaking in June and July — that's when most people really feel it. Something to plan around if pollen usually gets to you.
How often is the Coventry pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Coventry 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 Coventry 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 Coventry, 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.
