Surrounding Dumfries and Galloway farmland contributes substantial grass and tree pollen, moving into town when winds blow from the inland.

Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.

Are pollen levels in Thornhill Dumfriesshire based on measurements or forecasts?

This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.
