Local Environmental Conditions
The area around the heart of Wakefield is densely built up, with some woodland. Allergenic trees nearby include hazel and poplar. Grass pollen is plentiful, while plantain leads among the weeds. Locally, street trees, parks and lawns are the main sources in the built-up parts. Grasses along roadsides, verges and open ground also add to the overall pollen load.
The pollen year starts in late winter, when hazel flowers. Poplar follows in early spring, as temperatures climb to around 5°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Then come the grasses, strongest in midsummer and fading by late summer. Plantain brings a final peak from late spring into late summer. By late fall, as temperatures fall to around 5°C, pollen levels are low again.

How often is the Wakefield pollen forecast updated?
The Wakefield pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Wakefield 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 Wakefield 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 Wakefield, 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.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
