Local Environmental Conditions
Cumnock Doon Valley sees birch and pine as the leading tree pollen contributors, with levels differing noticeably between well-vegetated suburbs and the denser core. The wider East Ayrshire countryside supplies additional tree and grass pollen, particularly when the area's changeable Atlantic weather carry it toward the built-up area. Overall exposure follows the broader regional trend, moderated somewhat by the town's parks and gardens.
Cumnock Doon Valley's pollen year has two main tree culprits: birch first, pine close behind. Don't forget grass, either — it runs May to September and usually causes the most trouble in June and July. Birch tends to release pollen between March and May, and pine keeps things going from April right through to June. Not a bad idea to stock up on antihistamines before it all kicks off.

This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
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. |
