The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers' Muirfield links setting features marram grass, fescue, and gorse as the main pollen sources across the classic East Lothian links, with exposure varying between the exposed outer loop and the more sheltered inner loop holes. The Firth of Forth coastal position means onshore winds can periodically disperse pollen, while the relatively dry East Lothian climate means fewer rainfall interruptions than in western Scotland throughout the season.

How often is the Edinburgh pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh, 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.
