Around Keighley Steeton, oak and ash are the dominant species behind local tree pollen, with counts higher near parks than in the centre. The surrounding heathland nearby is a notable secondary source, feeding pollen into town whenever the wind shifts to the south. This combination means residents feel both urban and rural pollen sources depending on which way the wind's blowing.

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 Keighley Steeton based on measurements or forecasts?

Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.
