Local Environmental Conditions
The heart of Merthyr Tudful sits among a blend of built-up land and woodland. Of the trees nearby, birch, oak and hazel are the ones that matter most for allergies. Grass pollen is significant here, and plantain and mugwort contribute weed pollen. In the immediate area, street trees, parks and lawns are the main sources in the built-up parts.
First to flower is hazel, in late winter. Birch and oak follow in mid-spring, as temperatures climb to around 10°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Grass pollen follows, peaking in early summer and easing off by late summer. Later, plantain and mugwort keep weed pollen in the air from late spring into late summer. By early winter, as temperatures fall to around 5°C, pollen levels are low again.

How often is the Merthyr Tudful pollen forecast updated?
The Merthyr Tudful pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Merthyr Tudful 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 Merthyr Tudful 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 Merthyr Tudful, 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.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
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. |
