Local Environmental Conditions
Surrounding Solihull farmland contributes substantial grass and tree pollen, moving into town when winds blow from the the surrounding hills. On top of that, oak and plane are the two species driving most tree pollen in Knowle Solihull, especially around parks and green corridors. This combination means residents feel both urban and rural pollen sources depending on which way the wind's blowing.
Knowle Solihull's pollen year has two main tree culprits: oak first, plane close behind. Grass then takes over from May right through September, peaking around June and July for most people. Expect oak pollen roughly from April to May, and plane keeps things going from April right through to June. Not a bad idea to stock up on antihistamines before it all kicks off.

This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
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. |
