The tree pollen story in Stafford is really about birch and lime, in that order. Then grass pollen takes the baton from May all the way to September, usually peaking in June and July — that's when most people really feel it. Birch tends to release pollen between March and May, then lime carries on from May until July. Handy to bear in mind before booking that garden party.

The Stafford pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

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.

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 Stafford, 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.
