Local Environmental Conditions
Just over 75% of the area near the center of Nottingham is built-up land, with some woodland. Of the allergenic trees nearby, maple matters most, while willow and oak also contribute. Grasses and weeds such as plantain and mugwort round out the local mix. Compared with most places, mugwort is especially widespread here, which makes it one of the key local allergens.
Tree pollen peaks in mid-spring, when the weather warms to around 10°C and maple, willow and oak are in full flower. Then come the grasses, strongest in midsummer and fading by late summer. The most intense period comes from late spring into late summer, when plantain and mugwort are in flower. By late fall, as temperatures fall to around 5°C, pollen levels are low again.

How often is the Nottingham pollen forecast updated?
The Nottingham pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Nottingham 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 Nottingham 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 Nottingham, 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.
Airmine’s atmospheric monitoring platform was developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team, using satellite and Earth observation technologies to improve emissions monitoring.
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. |
