Residents in Woking dealing with hay fever usually point to plane and lime as the culprits, particularly in spring near parks and gardens. The nearby coastal fringe adds further grass and tree pollen exposure, particularly under southwesterly winds. This mix of urban and rural influence gives Woking a fairly typical pollen pattern for the wider region.

Does pollen in Woking 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 Woking 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 Woking, 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.
