Crewe's parks and green spaces feature birch and oak as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between these greener areas and the more built-up town centre. The surrounding hills nearby is a notable secondary source, feeding pollen into town whenever the wind shifts to the north-west. Hay fever sufferers here typically notice symptoms peaking in late spring, then again during the summer grass season.

How often is the Crewe pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Crewe 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 Crewe 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 Crewe, 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.
