Royal Tunbridge Wells' parks, including Dunorlan Park, and the River Medway headwaters corridor feature oak and birch as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between these green areas and the more built-up town centre. Surrounding Kent and East Sussex farmland and the High Weald woodland contribute substantial tree and grass pollen, while the wooded Wealden character of the area means local tree pollen is a particularly significant source.

Does pollen in Royal Tunbridge Wells 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 Royal Tunbridge Wells 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 Royal Tunbridge Wells, 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.
