Tree pollen in Dunoon comes mostly from birch and pine, with parks and mature gardens standing in contrast to the more built-up centre. Grass pollen from surrounding Argyll and Bute fields is significant through the summer months, carried in by inland breezes from the surrounding countryside. This combination means residents feel both urban and rural pollen sources depending on which way the wind's blowing.

How often is the Dunoon pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Dunoon 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 Dunoon 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 Dunoon, 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.
