Surrounding Blaenau Gwent farmland contributes substantial grass and tree pollen, moving into town when winds blow from the the surrounding hills. On top of that, oak and ash are the two species driving most tree pollen in Ebbw Vale, especially around parks and green corridors. Hay fever sufferers here typically notice symptoms peaking in late spring, then again during the summer grass season.

Does pollen in Ebbw Vale 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 Ebbw Vale 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 Ebbw Vale, 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.
