Eastbourne's coastal position means onshore winds frequently disperse urban pollen. Oak and ash feature in parks such as Hampden Park, with exposure varying between these green areas and the more built-up town centre. The South Downs to the north contribute substantial chalk downland grass and tree pollen that moves into the town when winds blow from the north.

Does pollen in Eastbourne 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 Eastbourne 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 Eastbourne, 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.
