On 25 June 2026, Grass is the dominant pollen source in Lincoln. birch, hazel, cypress, willow, and alder are not currently active.

Lincoln's pollen season opens with hazel and alder from late January, benefiting from the milder East Midlands climate. Oak and ash follow through April and May, with grass pollen peaking through June and July. The flat Lincolnshire landscape and surrounding farmland allow substantial crop and grass pollen to extend exposure into August, while the drier conditions of the east Midlands mean fewer rainfall interruptions than in northern and western UK.

The Lincoln pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

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.

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 Lincoln, 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.
