Local Environmental Conditions
The heart of Faversham is surrounded mainly by built-up land, with a good deal of woodland and some open grassland. So much tree cover makes trees an important source of pollen locally. Grasses also feature strongly, alongside pigweed and plantain among the weeds. In the immediate area, street trees, parks and lawns are the main sources in the built-up parts.
Tree pollen comes first, peaking in mid-spring. Grasses take over in early summer, with temperatures around 15°C, and their pollen lingers into late summer. The season closes with pigweed and plantain from midsummer into mid-fall. Mold spores join in from early summer into early fall, when damp, warm spells let them thrive. By early winter, as temperatures fall to around 5°C, pollen levels are low again.

Does pollen in Faversham 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 Faversham 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 Faversham, 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.

The 0–100 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
