Exeter's parks, including Northernhay Gardens, and the Exe valley corridor feature oak and ash as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between these green areas and the more built-up city centre. Surrounding Devon farmland and the woodlands fringing Dartmoor to the west contribute additional grass and tree pollen under prevailing easterly winds.

Oak and ash follow through April and May, with grass pollen peaking through June and July. Atlantic weather systems bring more frequent rainfall than in southern England, providing regular interruptions to the season, while surrounding Devon farmland and the proximity to Dartmoor extend grass and tree pollen exposure into August.
How often is the Exeter pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Exeter 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 Exeter 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 Exeter, 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.
