Local Environmental Conditions
Local farmland and hedgerows nearby add meaningful grass pollen through late spring and summer, especially under inland breezes from the surrounding countryside. On top of that, oak and birch are the two species driving most tree pollen in Norwich Cathedral Quarter, especially around parks and green corridors. Locals with allergies tend to plan around two peaks a year rather than one long stretch.
Ask anyone with allergies in Norwich Cathedral Quarter and they'll tell you it's oak and birch that cause the trouble. Grass season overlaps a lot of this too, running May through September and peaking mid-summer. Oak gets going around April and tapers off by May, before birch takes over, usually March to May. Worth keeping an eye on the forecast if you're sensitive.

Does pollen in Norwich 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 Norwich 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 Norwich, 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 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. |
