Local Environmental Conditions
The area around the heart of Kenton Newcastle is mostly built-up land, with some woodland. Allergenic trees nearby include maple, alder and birch. Grasses and weeds such as plantain and mugwort round out the local mix. Around here, planted trees and mown lawns are the main sources in the built-up parts.
The pollen year starts in late winter, when alder flowers. Maple and birch follow in mid-spring, as temperatures climb to around 5°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Grasses take over in midsummer, with temperatures around 15°C, and their pollen lingers into late summer. Plantain and mugwort bring a final peak from late spring into late summer. By late fall, pollen levels are low again.

Are pollen levels in Kenton Newcastle 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 Kenton Newcastle, 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.
