Local Environmental Conditions
Residents in Denny dealing with hay fever usually point to rowan and alder as the culprits, particularly in spring near parks and gardens. The wider Falkirk countryside supplies additional tree and grass pollen, particularly when shifting coastal winds carry it toward the built-up area. Locals with allergies tend to plan around two peaks a year rather than one long stretch.
Denny's pollen year has two main tree culprits: rowan first, alder close behind. You'll usually see rowan pollen from around May through June, while alder follows on from January to April. Grass then takes over from May right through September, peaking around June and July for most people. Worth keeping an eye on the forecast if you're sensitive.

How often is the Denny pollen forecast updated?
The Denny pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Denny 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 Denny 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 Denny, 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.

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. |
