The nearby parkland nearby is a notable secondary source, feeding pollen into town whenever the wind shifts to the east. On top of that, sycamore and oak are the two species driving most tree pollen in Okehampton Moor, especially around parks and green corridors. This combination means residents feel both urban and rural pollen sources depending on which way the wind's blowing.

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 Okehampton Moor 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 Okehampton Moor, 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.
