Around Malvern, oak and birch are the dominant species behind local tree pollen, with counts higher near parks than in the centre. Surrounding Worcestershire farmland contributes substantial grass and tree pollen, moving into town when winds blow from the the surrounding hills. The relatively open, low-lying landscape lets pollen disperse readily across the area through the season.

Oak pollen typically runs from April to May, while birch follows on from March to May. Useful to know if you tend to feel it every spring.
How often is the Malvern pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Malvern 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 Malvern 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 Malvern, 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.
