Residents in Dungannon dealing with hay fever usually point to ash and alder as the culprits, particularly in spring near parks and gardens. The nearby stretch of open moorland adds further grass and tree pollen exposure, particularly under prevailing westerlies. This mix of urban and rural influence gives Dungannon a fairly typical pollen pattern for the wider region.

Does pollen in Dungannon 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 Dungannon 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 Dungannon, 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.
