Grass pollen from surrounding Lincolnshire fields is significant through the summer months, carried in by southwesterly winds. On top of that, birch and sycamore are the two species driving most tree pollen in Louth, especially around parks and green corridors. Hay fever sufferers here typically notice symptoms peaking in late spring, then again during the summer grass season.

How often is the Louth pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Louth 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 Louth 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 Louth, 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.
