Local Environmental Conditions
Around 44% of the area near the heart of Featherstone is built-up land, with some woodland and farmland. Grasses are a major source, with plantain adding to the weed pollen load. Locally, street trees, gardens and lawns supply most pollen in the built-up parts. Roadside verges and patches of open ground provide further room for grasses and weeds.
Tree pollen comes first, peaking in mid-spring. Grasses take over in midsummer, with temperatures around 15°C, and their pollen lingers into late summer. Plantain brings a final peak from late spring into late summer. By late fall, as temperatures fall to around 5°C, pollen levels are low again. Dry, sunny and breezy weather raises levels within each period, and steady rain brings them down.

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

Understanding the Scale
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. |
