Stratford's parks, including West Ham Park, and the River Lea corridor feature oak and plane as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between these green areas and the densely built urban areas. The Olympic Park and the Lee Valley corridor are significant local green spaces contributing grass and tree pollen, while surrounding Essex farmland to the north and east adds additional exposure under prevailing westerly winds.

How often is the Stratford pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Stratford 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 Stratford 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 Stratford, 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.
