Dundee's pollen season begins later than most UK cities, with hazel and alder flowering from February to March in the cool Scottish climate. Birch and oak follow through April and May, with grass pollen peaking through June and July. The Tay estuary position means coastal winds can periodically disperse pollen, while the season is shorter and more frequently interrupted by rainfall than in southern Britain.

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

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.

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 Dundee, 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.
