Around Dudley, oak and beech are the dominant species behind local tree pollen, with counts higher near parks than in the centre. The nearby river valley adds further grass and tree pollen exposure, particularly under shifting coastal winds. Locals with allergies tend to plan around two peaks a year rather than one long stretch.

How often is the Dudley pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Dudley 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 Dudley 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 Dudley, 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.
