Stevenage's parks and the Stevenage Brook corridor feature oak and ash as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between these green areas and the more built-up new town centre. Surrounding Hertfordshire farmland contributes substantial grass and crop pollen, while the flat, open landscape allows pollen to disperse readily across the town and the dry southeast climate provides fewer rainfall interruptions than in northern and western UK.

Oak and ash follow through April and May, with grass peaking through June and July. East Anglia is one of the driest parts of the UK, meaning fewer rainfall interruptions, while surrounding Hertfordshire farmland extends grass and crop pollen exposure well into August.
How often is the Stevenage pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Stevenage 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 Stevenage 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 Stevenage, 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.
