Streatham's parks, including Streatham Common, feature plane and oak as the main tree pollen sources alongside grass from the common, with exposure varying between these green areas and the densely built suburban streets. As part of south London, local sources dominate, while the North Downs to the south and the Wandle River corridor contribute additional grass and tree pollen under northerly winds throughout the season.

How often is the Streatham pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Streatham 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 Streatham 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 Streatham, 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.
