Esher sees sycamore and oak as the leading tree pollen contributors, with levels differing noticeably between well-vegetated suburbs and the denser core. Surrounding Surrey farmland contributes substantial grass and tree pollen, moving into town when winds blow from the west. Seasonal peaks tend to track the wider regional pattern, tree pollen leading in spring and grass through summer.

How often is the Esher pollen forecast updated?
The Esher pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Esher 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 Esher 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 Esher, 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.
